Vulcan CFD from NASA

Vulcan CFD from NASA

Vulcan CFD from NASA

(OP)
We have been trying to get the NASA larc Vulcan code running on our PC's for CFD modeling of our processes.  It seems to be a script problem and we have had little luck with NASA's assistance.  We run under Linux Redhat and have used tcsh for the shell.  It is the old Firebird program which in the dark old days (25 years ago) I used to run on 3 parallel supercomputers for modeling the calandria and primary heat transport system of the CANDU nuclear reactors.

We have seen some researchers' lit at Stanford using it for modeling of nanotube formation and we wish to model the CFD of the cracking process of our gasification systems.

Although we have been supported by people using FLUENT, ASPEN, HYSYS, CFX, we are pondering the benefits of Vulcan for its useful capabilities as a dadbase manager runnign parallel threads since it can pull in ChemKIN, etc.  In particular we would like to use it coupled to a FEM program as CFX / ANSYS are doing.
