COOLFluiD is a component based scientific computing environment that handles high-performance computing problems with focus on complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD) involving multiphysics phenomena.
It features a Collaborative Simulation Environment where multiple physical models and multiple discretization methods are implemented as components within the environment. These components form a component-based architecture where they serve as building blocks of customized applications.
