The Openpipeflow Navier–Stokes solver

Pipelines are used in a huge range of industrial processes involving fluids, and the ability to accurately predict properties of the flow through a pipe is of fundamental engineering importance. Armed with parallel MPI, Arnoldi and Newton–Krylov solvers, the Openpipeflow code can be used in a range...
