CONCORD

We're a nonprofit educational research and development organization based in Concord, Massachusetts, and El Cerrito, California. Our pioneering work brings the promise of technology into reality for education in science, math, and engineering... Energy2D was started from scratch in 2010 and is being actively developed by Dr. Charles Xie, a physicist working at the Concord Consortium based in Concord, Massachusetts, USA (though its development has recently slowed down as he is currently focused on developing Energy3D). While creating this software, Dr. Xie invented a unique semi-Lagrangian McCormack method to approximately solve the Navier-Stokes equation. The performance of this solver is comparable to Jos Stam's unconditionally stable fluid solver, which unfortunately cannot be used in open-source projects like this because a large company claims it as part of a pending patent. Although our McCormack solver is not unconditionally stable, it is capable of simulating turbulent flows..
