GFS - the Gerris Flow Solver


About GFS.

The Gerris Flow Solver (GFS) is a free software program for the solution of the partial differential equations describing fluid flow. A brief summary of its main (current) features:

  • Solves the time-dependent incompressible variable-density Euler, Stokes or Navier-Stokes equations
  • Adaptive mesh refinement: the resolution is adapted dynamically to the features of the flow
  • Entirely automatic mesh generation in complex geometries
  • Second-order in space and time
  • Unlimited number of advected/diffused passive tracers
  • Flexible specification of additional source terms
  • Portable parallel support using the MPI library
  • Volume of Fluid advection scheme for interfacial flows


To learn more about GFS pleas consult the GFS home page - sometimes a bit slow / unstable... :-(


Using GFS on Stallo:

GFS is installed under:

/global/apps/gfs/<release-date>/

To be able to use GFS you must load the GFS module on Stallo:

module load gfs

You must run this command before you try to link you application with this library.
And you may have to add this command after the PBS-stuff and before the executable stuff in your job script.
