TYPHON is a project which aims to offer a development platform for many computational methods for gas dynamics. It is structured as a multi-solver platform where it could be easily added a new solver. For now, it provides a finite volume solver for compressible inviscid equations and a finite volume solver for heat transfer.

The core structure is based on a unsteady integration of user-defined cycle duration.
Each cycle integration process is independent: one can choose different mesh based structures
or different methods on different equations set. The core is currently organised with
a full unstructured 2D/3D mesh (CGNS input)
an automatic mesh splitting and MPI based parallel computations
a conjugate heat transfer/fluid process
an extension to unstructured grid, patch-based, tree structure is currently under development

This solver is based on full compressibility Navier-Stokes equations. It has been mainly used and
validated on high speed aerodynamics or high compressibility effects such as unsteady shock waves
interactions. One can point out these following features
robust upwind schemes (HLL, HLLC, AUSM)
2nd and 3rd order MUSCL type extension
Contributors are welcomed to add some methods to the existing solver. Some of further developments
could be
high-order methods (spectral volume methods or others)
turbulence modelling (RANS), Large eddy simulation (LES)
Multigrid and implicit method for convergence acceleration
Dual time stepping
Adaptative mesh refinement (AMR)

Contributors are welcomed to add a new solver or specific interface with other projects.
It is proposed
graphical user interface for parameter input
incompressible fluid solver
lagrangian vortex solver and/or surface panel method
output format to post-processing softwares
