Software implementation (with open source code) of vortex particle method in computational fluid dynamics for viscous incompressible flows simulation.

Version 1.12 dated January 14, 2024

The program is distributed under the terms of a free license GNU GPLv3

This software implementation is based on:

• viscous vortex domains method, VVD method, developed under the guidance of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. G.Ya. Dynnikova at the Institute of Mechanics of Lomonosov Moscow State University,

• the discrete vortex method, DV method, developed and advanced in the scientific school created by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Prof. S. M. Belotserkovsky,

• the results of research by many authors published in monographs, scientific periodicals, conference proceedings and seminars,

• the authors' original models and algorythms.
