   Tiger


The Tiger solver is no longer being distributed with Cart3D.
As  of  Cart3D_v1.3Tiger is no longer being distributed automatically with Cart3D. If you want a copy, contact me. The last release of Tiger was Tiger14 which was released with
Cart3D_v1.2 for documentation on Tiger and its supporting programs (cart2tiger, tiger2tec & tiger2fv) click here to see the v1.2 release docs.

Tiger is a cell-centered, finite-volume, solver for the Euler equations governing the inviscid flow of a compressible fluid. The solver has been widely tested both in-house at NASA and by users in the Cart3D community.  Tiger14 is a uni-processor version which is an evolution of the earlier verions that you may have. The input control file <tiger.inp> supports extraction of force and moment information for any number of component groups and the code runs well on vector machines. Spatial differencing in tiger is central-difference with blended second and fourth order dissipation in a finite-volume framework. Convergence to steady state is through a user-selectable multi-stage scheme. Tiger was originally written by John Melton and John's thesis is still the best source of documentation on the internals of the code.
