Tiger
 The
Tiger solver is no longer being distributed with Cart3D.
As
of Cart3D_v1.3, Tiger
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.
