Hello everyone,<br><br>Sorry for thanking you all so late but better late than never. Thank you very much for all your inputs.<br><br>What I conclude nevertheless is that within SCILAB, the tools available for solving the governing equations of flow and heat transfer are primarily solved using the Finite Element numerical scheme. I've understood that conservation is sometimes a problem for the FEM based solution of the flow equations and therefore, the Finite Volume Method would be a more appropriate option, if that can be included within SCILAB.<br>
<br>But I understand that with so many already existing options available through OpenFOAM and others, it might be difficult to justify putting in efforts in this regard. The only motivation would be the platform independence of SCILAB compared to most of the LINUX based open source solutions for solving CFD problems.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Did you see the collection of finite elements tools for Scilab that
we presented on the wiki :<br>

<br>
Has anyone among you come across any module for simple flow
simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) coupled with Structural
analysis, i.e., Fluid Structure Interaction.<br>
<br>
Surely there are some open source solutions for CFD but they are
often limited to Linux platforms. I was wondering if there is any
way SCILAB has been employed for this, especially that SCILAB is
platform independent!<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
