It can deal with arbitrary complex geometries with hybrid meshes (supporting tetrahedrals, prisms, pyramids and hexahedrals), and is mainly devoted to the Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent flows, an area which is being greatly supported and has received all the attention of the CFD community for the past 20 years. It is likely that this will be</ins></div></td></tr>

The main reason for this was (among other things) to federate the work of a multitude of PhD students and scientists who develop their own specific and effective codes, but which one day or the other will vanish as they change area of interest, or become unusable as time passes by... Moreover, the general trend shows that only some (expensive) commercial codes are</ins></div></td></tr>
