The AVBP code of CERFACS webinar is the first in a series of the Industrial Code of the Month events. Mark your calendar for the webinar scheduled on 28 June 2023 from 11:00 to 11:45. You can access the meeting via the following Webex. During the webinar, Gabriel Staffelbach, a top AVBP developer, will be presenting the AVBP code that was created at CERFACS - the European Center for Research and Advanced Training in Scientific Computing. This code uses parallel processing to solve the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for both laminar and turbulent reactive flows in 2D and 3D. It can be used on unstructured and hybrid meshes and utilizes third-order Taylor Galerkin schemes. AVBP is also officially supported within the services provided in the context of Excellerat Center of Excellence.
The AVBP project started in 1993 upon an initiative of Michael Rudgyard and Thilo Schönfeld with the aim to build a modern software tool for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) within CERFACS of high flexibility, efficiency, and modularity. Since then, the project has grown rapidly, and today, AVBP represents one of the most advanced CFD tools worldwide for the numerical simulation of compressible unsteady turbulence for reacting flows.
AVBP is widely used both for basic research and applied research of industrial interest. Applications range from aeronautical turbines to piston engines, as well as safety applications. Initially co-develop with IFP Energies Nouvelles, now CERFACS handles the majority of the developments and maintains the code whereas academic laboratories contribute with added physical models and validations. Partners include EM2C – CNRS CentraleSupélec, LMFA lab at Ecole Centrale Lyon, and Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse. Industrial users include Safran Group, Air Liquide, Gaz de France, Total, and Airbus.
