DARTFlo
New software
DARTFlo is a new open-source tool to quickly solve transonic potential flows for the preliminar aircraft design and optimization. It allows to take into account the interaction between the inviscid flow and the viscous boundary layer. It is based on a finite-element discretization and implemented in an object-oriented infrastructure (C++ / Python).
DARTFlo is developed by the Aeroelasticity & Experimental Aerodynamics, Multiphysics and Turbulent Flow Computation and Non Linear Computational Mechanics groups.
You can find more information in the PhD thesis of Adrien Crovato and on its GitLab repository.
