In Development

This page highlights areas of current development, separated into relevant categories.

Flow physics

Unsteady free-wake flow solver

Neumann-BC solver

• VortexAD only supports a Dirichlet boundary condition formulation. The Neumann no-penetration BC is better suited for unsteady flows.

VLM solver

• we have written a VLM code and are working on including it in this repository.

Geometry and meshing

Support for unstructured quad meshes and quad+tri meshes

• VortexAD currently only supports structured grids with quads and unstructured tri meshes.
