waLBerla


waLBerla (widely applicable Lattice Boltzmann from Erlangen) is a massively parallel framework for multi-physics applications. Besides its original objective, Lattice Boltzmann solvers for hydrodynamics, it now contains modules for other applications like Multigrid and rigid body dynamics as well.
