OpenFlower (FLOW solvER) is a C++ open source Linux CFD code mainly intended to solve the turbulent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a LES approach. It can deal with arbitrary complex 3D geometries with its finite volume approach and multi-element grids. One of its main objectives is to give to the CFD community a plug'n play CFD software, easy to use and install (no complicated compilations needed since it is written in standard C++ and also comes along with binary version of the code for Linux).

SoftInWay, Inc., the developer of AxSTREAM™ - a powerful software suite that encompasses the complete engineering process of axial turbomachinery flow path design, will demonstrate pre-release 2.01 of AxSTREAM software during ASME Turbo Expo, Power for Land, Sea & Air, June 6-9 2005, Reno-Tahoe, Nevada.
Please visit booth #309 for demonstration.
The major new and weighty addition to this version is a set of solvers that allows performing rapid preliminary design of a Multistage Axial Compressor flow path as well as meanline analysis, cascades profiling, creation of airfoil 3D models, export of the models to CFD solvers, and generating of compressor maps.

Pointwise, Inc. has established the Glyph Script Exchange on their website for Gridgen users to share Glyph scripts with each other. Glyph is Gridgen’s scripting language. It is based on the Tcl scripting language and lets users have complete control over Gridgen’s meshing capabilities through a script interface.
Glyph scripts have a variety of uses. They can function as time saving utilities for changing grid spacing, number of grid points, colors of grids, and other menial tasks. Intermediate level scripts can be used for more complex jobs like creating simple volume grids and performing a suite of quality checks on a completed grid automatically. At the highest level are Glyph scripts that build complete mesh systems parametrically. Parametric scripts have been developed for turbine blades, torque converters, centrifugal compressors and pumps, high-lift flap systems for aircraft wings, submarines, and several other applications. Many more are under development.
