testThe NASA Tetrahedral Unstructured Software
System (TetrUSS) was developed during the
1990’s to provide a rapid aerodynamic analysis
and design capability to applied
aerodynamicists. The system is comprised of
loosely integrated, user-friendly software that
enables the application of advanced Euler and
Navier-Stokes tetrahedral finite volume
technology to complex aerodynamic problems.
TetrUSS has matured well because of the
generous feedback from many willing users
representing a broad cross-section of
background and skill levels. This paper presents
an overview of the current capabilities of the
TetrUSS system along with some representative
results from selected applications.
