HiFUN
HiFUN is a state-of-the-art, general-purpose CFD solver that’s robust, fast, and accurate, providing aerodynamic design data in an attractive turnaround time. Its usefulness stems from its ability to handle the complex geometries and complicated flow physics in a typical industrial environment. Using unstructured data capable of handling arbitrary polyhedral volumes gives HiFUN the ability to simulate complex geometries with relative ease. Plus, the use of a matrix-free implicit procedure results in rapid convergence to steady state―making the solver both efficient and robust.
The accuracy of HiFUN has been amply demonstrated in various international CFD code evaluation exercises such as the AIAA Drag Prediction Workshops and AIAA High Lift Prediction Workshops. HiFUN has been successfully used in simulations for a wide range of flow problems, from low subsonic speeds to hypersonic speeds.
