VirtualFluids (VF) is a research code developed at the Institute for Computational Modeling in Civil Engineering (iRMB) at the Technical University Braunschweig. The code is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for turbulent and multicomponent flow problems. It includes distributed pre- and postprocessing capabilities for simulations with more than 100 billion degrees of freedom.
