STREAmS-2.0: Supersonic turbulent accelerated Navier-Stokes solver version 2.0
Description
We present STREAmS-2.0, an updated version of the flow solver STREAmS, first introduced in Bernardini et al. (2021) [1]. STREAmS-2.0 has an object-oriented design which separates the physics equations from the specific back-end, making the code more suitable for future expansions, such as porting to novel computing architectures or implementation of additional flow physics. Similarly to the previous version, STREAmS-2.0 supports NVIDIA-GPU and CPU back-ends. Additionally, this version features improvements of the input/output data management, new energy and entropy preserving schemes for the discretization of the convective fluxes, recycling/rescaling inflow boundary condition, and a model for thermally perfect gases with variable specific heats.
