Code_Saturne
Current status of install
Testing is taking place and some tutorials are under preparation. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.
Overview
Code_Saturne is the free, open-source software developed and released by EDF to solve computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. It solves the Navier-Stokes equations for 2D, 2D-axisymmetric and 3D flows, steady or unsteady, laminar or turbulent, incompressible or weakly dilatable, isothermal or not, with scalars transport if required. Several turbulence models are available, from Reynolds-Averaged models to Large-Eddy Simulation models. In addition, a number of specific physical models are also available as modules: gas, coal and heavy-fuel oil combustion, semi-transparent radiative transfer, particle-tracking with Lagrangian modeling, Joule effect, electrics arcs, weakly compressible flows, atmospheric flows, rotor/stator interaction for hydraulic machines.
Restrictions on use
This software is open-source originally developed by EDF Energy and therefore anyone on the CSF may use it.
Set up proceedure
We recommend that you load the necessary environment by using the module:
module load apps/intel-18.0/Code_Saturne/7.0 # v7.0.2 module load apps/intel-18.0/Code_Saturne/6.0 # v6.0.4 module load apps/intel-18.0/Code_Saturne/5.0 # v5.0.9
This will in turn load the modules used for the installation of the code (opempin/compilers/python etc)
Please do not run python on the login node. Jobs should be submitted to the compute nodes via batch.
Please follow the instructions in the documentation to create your case and study.
The specific version documentation listed below gives full details of how to run Code_Saturne.
v5.0.9
Please see the Code_Saturne v5.0.9 CSF3 documentation.
v6.0.4
Please see the Code_Saturne v6.0.4 CSF3 documentation.
v7.0.2
Please see the Code_Saturne v7.0.2 CSF3 documentation
