TYCHO is a multidimensional (1D/2D and 3D) compressible hydrodynamics code written in C and parallelized with OpenMP. A Lagrangian remap version of the Piecewise Parabolic Method developed by Paul Woodward and Phil Colella (1984) is applied. The code is based on the freely available VH-1 Package. A short video-tutorial on how to set-up a simulation for a fan-grill from a STL-file and how to use PARAVIEW/VISIT for the visualisation can be
found here. Find some examples
on my channel at TYCHO offers you:
The versions 1.3 and above do have more data in a parameter-file, see the documentation for details. tychoGUI assists you in generating the proper parameterfiles for your simulation. TYCHO for Windows (v1.3.1) - the complete simulation package for Windows with installer TYCHO (v1.3) - the simulation package for Linux (configure/make/make install) tychoBCG3D (v0.2) - a 3D boundary condition generator for STL- and point data (e.g. 3D scans) tychoBCGEN (v0.5) - a 2D boundary condition generator from pixel graphics for Linux (qmake-qt4/make) The simulation package is focused on gas-obstacle interaction experiments and has special routines for obstacles in wind-streams and advection of marker fields. In addition momenta and their direction on obstacle-surfaces, thermal diffusion, and viscosity can be studied within in your simulation. Gravity is included as a constant background-field and a stratified atmosphere can be set up, if needed. TYCHO is freely available to everyone. You are welcome to download it and do whatever you want with it. I would appreciate, however, if you would acknowledge the package in your publications/work and if you would send me information for what purpose you use the code. Keep in mind that this code does not come with any guarantee. Here are some examples of TYCHO simulations. For some of them initial conditions can be downloaded. |
