Welcome to NekLBM
NekLBM https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/NEKLBM is a high-order lattice Boltzmann fluid solver based on spectral element discontinuous Galerkin methods. It is an open-source code written in Fortran and C. The code is actively developed at Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory.
Features
The code targets high performance high-order simulations on the advanced computer architectures for the applications in accelerator physics and nanoscience, predicting optimal designs of next-generation electromagnetic devices such as accelerator components for the International Linear Collider or the Large Hadron Collider, nanosensors for molecular detection, and photovoltaic solar cells with high energy-conversion efficiency.
