Welcome to the UG3 code website

UG3 is a parallel 3-D finite volume code for compressible flows on unstructured grids. It solves compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The code is written in simple modern Fortran. Parallelization is achieved using PETSc data structures. Our goal is to write an efficient code that can be used to build an efficient adjoint solver using automatic differentiation.

Access to UG3 is restricted. If you have access to it, you can read the code here or clone it to your computer 

git clone git@bitbucket.org:cpraveen/ug3.git
For the above to work, you must have copied your ssh public key into your Bitbucket account, which is highly recommended. You can also get the code via https 
git clone https://bitbucket.org/cpraveen/ug3.git
and you will be prompted to enter your Bitbucket username/password.

To make use of ug3, you will need

  • ug3exa: Collection of examples
  • ug3pre: Grid preprocessor and Metis-based partitioner

Note: The code in directory src_ser is the serial code which is no longer updated. Use the parallel version of the code in src_mpi which can also run on a single processor.

UG3 features

The current features of the code are:

  • 2/3-d compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations
  • Unstructured grids containing tetrahedra, pyramid, prism and hexahedra
  • Vertex-centered finite volume scheme
  • Numerical fluxes: Rusanov, HLLC, Roe, KEPEC
  • Second order by MUSCL approach for inviscid fluxes
  • Compact discretization of diffusive fluxes
  • Explicit time stepping: SSPRK3, SSPRK43, Petsc TS (adaptive time stepping)
  • Parallelization using Metis, MPI and PETSc
  • Visualization using VTK, HDF5+XDMF

Future development will include the following

  • LES models
  • Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model
  • Implicit time integration
  • Adjoint solver using automatic differentiation
