Open Source Software
You can find several research codes in this section. They are
currently mostly aimed at Students and collaborators. Other people may
find the documentation somewhat scarce, but you are still welcome to
download the codes.
Graphical User Interface for scientific applications
I (together with Johannes Schlosser) have been developing
a GUI for scientists. This library is available as open source
software under the GNU public liscence. It is a C-library that
requires the X-windows libraries, i.e. it is useful for people
writing C programs under UNIX (or Linux). You can find a description of
and download information for the library at
http://www.physics.ndsu.nodak.edu/wagner/graph.html.
Example Lattice Boltzmann Codes
If you have any suggestions for improvements in these codes (because
you found a bug, you know how to improve the performance or because
you have some suggestion on making them more readable) please send me
an e-mail with your suggestions.
Go on to the example codes.
