We have many plans for Free CFD that we are excited about. One of the central items almost any of those plans require is a sound turbulence model implementation. After trying many different approaches to 2 equation turbulence model implementations, we are releasing Free CFD 0.1.0. Since this goes a little beyond a bug fix and maintenance release cycle, we are treating this as a minor release. There will be no 0.0.2 version.

This version includes 3 choices for turbulence models:

• k-epsilon
• k-omega
• Menter’s BSL

We would like to emphasize though that these models are out for testing purposes. We are lacking some of the eventually needed features such as law-of-the-wall implementations. But we are proud anyway.

So, if you’d like to play around, please go to download section and please share your experience in our forum.

This release also includes several bug fixes related to parallel runs in some machines and for several other minor issues that we tend to forget.
