Diablo

Diablo is an open-source CFD solver that I have been developing with Tom Bewley and others at UCSD since my time as a PhD student. It solves the incompressible, Boussinesq Navier-Stokes equations in several simple geometries. The full version, written in Fortran, can be found here (we are currently putting together a more comprehensive, stable version for wide release, so the link may not yet be active.)

I recently wrote a 2D version of Diablo, entirely using the MATLAB scripting language, which can be downloaded below along with the User's Guide, which contains more details. While limited to flow in a 2D plane, it can handle a wide variety of boundary conditions, and rotating and stratified flows. Note that this version is intended for educational purposes, and has not been fully tested for use in academic research.
