UCNS3D: An open-source high-order finite-volume unstructured CFD solver

UCNS3D is an open-source computational solver for compressible flows on unstructured meshes. State-of-the-art high-order methods and their associated benefits can now be implemented for industrial-scale CFD problems due to the flexibility and highly-automated generation offered by unstructured meshes. We present the governing equations of the physical models employed in UCNS3D, and the numerical framework developed for their solution. We will be presenting the code design, philosophy and motivation for the high-order finite-volume framework, the performance of them under several challenging applications as well as the future developments of the UCNS3D.
