The NSF NCAR Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) has
announced the release of FastEddy® 2.0, a groundbreaking, open source GPU-based model for numerical modeling of complex microscale flows.
FastEddy® not only simulates, but actually forecasts, an entire category of weather that has historically gone unseen—microscale weather—and does it skillfully enough and fast enough to make a difference. The software’s speed and efficiency allow the broader application of large-eddy simulations, while using less energy to deliver faster results.
This latest release features key extensions including canopy effects, model offshore environments, predict transport and dispersion of passive scalars, topographic effects, and more. Try the 2.0 version now at the
GitHub Repository, and also check out the short tutorial with seven test cases and Jupyter notebooks for analyses.
