The coding guide for Code_Saturne

Post by aladdincham »

Dear all,
I am very glad to be a member of the user of Code_Saturne.
I have used an inhouse-code, based on F77, for many years, and there indeed are lots of difficulties for using this new code for me. For example, I want to simulate an airfoil flow, but I dont know how to estimate the lift, drag and moment coefficients. I have looked up in the forum for many times. There is some samiliar problem with mine. But all of them point to the code in CS_extra_operation.f90. Frankly speaking, I am not familiar with F90, but I think the biggest obstacle is the names of variable and array that what I should used to solve the problem and what they are really mean? Is there some guide book for the development of the code? In addition, I want to build a new turbulence model in it and where should I begin?
Thanks.

Hello,

Did you check the "Documentation" section on this web site ?
The Doxygen documentation has quite a few elements on variable namings.

Best regards,

Yvan
