Gerris is a CFD solver known for adaptive mesh refinement for incompressible flows.
- Octree/quadtree adaptive mesh refinement concentrates resolution near interfaces and vortical regions.
- Volume-of-Fluid method tracks free-surface and multiphase interfaces with surface tension.
- Embedded boundary representation handles complex solid geometries on Cartesian grids efficiently.
Product Description
Description
Gerris is a simulation software focused on computational fluid dynamics, used to model fluid flow behavior under defined physical conditions. It helps users set up and run numerical experiments to analyze how fluids move and interact, supporting engineering evaluation of flow fields, pressure distribution, and related quantities in CFD studies.
Typical Use Cases
Mechanical engineers use Gerris to simulate internal and external flows as part of CFD analyses during design and validation work. It is applied when evaluating flow behavior and comparing outcomes across different boundary conditions or geometries in fluid dynamics studies.
Professional Scope
For mechanical engineers, it supports CFD-based simulation work needed to predict fluid-flow performance before building or testing physical prototypes.
Ideal For
It best suits mechanical engineers who need CFD simulation capability with a free pricing model, including students, researchers, and small teams.
Access & Licensing
Gerris is available for free.
Platforms
It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
