Finite-volume Compressible Navier Stokes (CNSFV) in MOOSE

MOOSE CNSFV is a finite-volume implementation for solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. It provides a stable framework for computational fluid dynamics, using finite-volumes instead of finite-elements. The unique feature of MOOSE is its ability to couple with other physics, including finite element methods. This allows for robust convergence of multiphysics problems. Inputs for MOOSE CNSFV include user-specified meshes and boundary conditions, with outputs of compressible flow variables. By solving fluid dynamics and solid mechanics simultaneously, MOOSE offers a unique and powerful capability. This sets it apart from alternatives that rely on Picard coupling, which may have issues with convergence. Using MOOSE can save costs on expensive commercial licenses and enhance the reputation of INL and other DOE partners.
