uG4

uG4 – The Multi-Physics Simulation Platform


uG4 (unstructured Grids version 4) is an open-source development of a numerical simulation framework harboring advanced tools for discretizing partial and ordinary differential equations and solving very large systems of linear equations. The project is lead by the Goethe Center for Scientific Computing at the Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. uG4 is used in many scientific applications, ranging from fluid dynamics, mechanics to numerous applications in bioscience.
