Draft:ProLB

ProLB is a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based simulation software developed by and dstributed by CS Communication & Systèmes based on the Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM). ProLB allows the modeling of fluids in a large range of regimes and includes capacity to simulating rotating rigid bodies, heat transfer and aeroacoustics.

The ProLB suite is composed by the pre-processing tool LBpre. LBpre is a GUI that allows the definition of the simulation setup. It accepts STL (file format) files for definition of boundary conditions. It also allows to create and manipulate fundamental elements (spheres, cylinders, slabs).

Simulation is done with LBsolver. Mesh is automatic generated from the setup defined in LBpre (boundaries, refinement zones, moving meshes) using an octree approach. Turbulence can be modelled using the Large eddy simulation (LES) approach.
