m-AIA

The multi-physics code m-AIA (formerly called ZFS) is under active development since more than 15 years at the Institute of Aerodynamics (AIA) of RWTH Aachen University. It has been used successfully in various national and EU funded projects for the simulation of engineering flow and noise prediction problems. Individual solvers for multi-phase and turbulent, combusting flows, heat conduction and acoustic wave propagation can be fully coupled and run efficiently on HPC systems. The various methods include finite-volume solvers for, e.g., the Navier-Stokes equations, lattice Boltzmann methods and discontinuous Galerking schemes for the solution of acoustic perturbation equations. Boundary fitted, block structures meshes as well as hierarchical Cartesian meshes can be used. A fully conservative cut-cell method is used for the boundary formulation for immersed bodies, which are also allowed to move freely in the solution domain.
