- 3DINAMICS
FORTRAN based CFD code developed to simulate momentum, mass, and heat
transfer in laminar and turbulent unsteady three-dimensional flows solving
the Navier-Stokes equations. 3DINAMICS is a semi-implicit finite volume
code for Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). It also has several subgrid-scale
models implemented for large-eddy simulations. It uses the second order in time
Crank-Nicholson scheme to integrate numerically the transport equations, which
are discretized spatially using the centered second-order finite volume approach.
The code is parallelized with MPI.
- SimOil/OilSea
Computer code used to simulate the time and space evolution of oil spills
in marine environment of arbitrary and complex geometry. The code is applicable
to gravity-viscosity regimes, i.e. up to 1 week for large spills, and takes into
account dispersion caused by wind, tides and currents, spreading and evaporation,
as well as accumulation and dispersion along the coastline. Currently the group
is working in improving its performance through the modelization of the dispersion
and fragmentation of nearly neutral buoyant oil spills and through the implementation
of different models for the prediction of the realistic sea flow patterns, as for
example the shallow water approximation.
- ThickSoft/ArtWAS
Software for a semiautomatic measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT)
from carotid ultrasound images. Carotid artery intima-media thickness can be
estimated noninvasively using ultrasound and is now widely used as a marker for
early carotid atherosclerosis detection. The program is an easy-to-use, highly
reliable software that allows a semiautomatic measurement of the IMT at different
carotid sections (common, internal and bulb) from several ultrasound images.
The software has been developed using the Matlab® programming language and
consists of a series of modules that can be adjusted according to user needs and
allows the addition of new features.
- caffa3d.MB
Fully implicit, finite volume, flow solver for the incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes
equations with generic scalar transport, in block structured, non-orthogonal,
body fitted grids. The first version of caffa3d.MB was developed by Dr. Gabriel
Usera during his Ph.D. studies at ECoMMFiT and was available online by November
2004. Since then, people around the world have decided to download it and,
eventually, use it. It has been continuously improved and new features have been
added since the release of the first version. More information about the program
can be found in the
download page.
- PIVCalc
Matlab® based software for Particle Image Velocimetry. The code is able to obtain
the velocity components from the time series of the particle images recorded by a
digital camera. It is based on an iterative pattern deformation algorithm with
regard to the Local Field Correction PIV method. This procedure has an enhanced
behavior in strong gradient situations and the effective spatial resolution depends
on the number of iterations and not on the interrogation window size. A specific
boundary treatment method is implemented to correct the velocity vector near the
boundaries. The code also allow for an initial process of the images to adjust
brightness and contrast and to eliminate undesired light reflections
