Description of the code: It is an incompressible, finite volume code is used in all the computations [1,2]. The numerical procedure is based on an implicit, fractional step technique with a multigrid pressure Poisson solver [3,4] and a non-staggered grid arrangement. For the momentum equations central differencing is used in space and the Crank-Nicolson scheme is used in the time domain. A hybrid central/upwind scheme in space and the Crank-Nicolson scheme for time discretization are used when solving for the k and e equations.

The code includes other discretization schemes such as QUICK and van Leer.
