TinTin Code Development

The Time Implicit Novel Turbulent Immersed-boundary Numerical (TinTin) code was originally developed by Yongmann Chung with further development by various research associates. The TinTin code will be a version of this code employing the Immersed Boundary Method and the following features will be implemented:

* Parallel processing for use on multi-core systems

* Immersed Boundary Methods for simulating the flows around:

- 2D & 3D irregular geometries from simple ordinate lists (2D) and/or STL input (2D & 3D)

- Moving geometries

- Flexible geometries

* Turbulent wall functions compatible with IBM for simulating turbulent cases

* Spalart-Allmaras and Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) formulation


Current Development Release: TinTin R1

Features to be implemented in this release

To improve the pre-processing functionality by implementing:

[Pre1]- Improve commenting & documentation of code to aid maintainability

[Pre2]- Improve input file commenting to make more readable (plus add version compatibility parameter)

To improve the solver functionality by implementing:

[Sol1]- Add debug flag to print out module/subroutines currently in use to aid debugging

[Sol2]- Add basic IBM subroutine

To improve the post-processing functionality by implementing:

[Pst1]- Add TECPLOT post processing file output

[Pst2]- Improvement of log file output to explain what is being output

To improve infrastructure (surrounding documentation & build process but not the code itself)

[Doc1]- Initial documentation on input parameters, module summaries & output files
