Hypersonic schockfront simulation with a starship enterprise toy model

This is TYCHO simulation of a Mach 5 shock flowing over a 3D toy model of starship enterprise. The complex boundary conditions are generated with tychoBCG3D, the new 3D boundary condition generator for TYCHO. You can download the generator, which is part of the the simulation package TYCHO, at TYCHO is a multidimensional (1D/2D and 3D) compressible hydrodynamics code written in C and parallelized with OpenMP. TYCHO is freely available to everyone. You are welcome to download it and do whatever you want with it. The simulation package is focused on gas-obstacle interatction experiments and has special routines for obstacles in wind-streams and advection of marker fields. In addition momenta and their direction on obstacle-surfaces, thermal diffusion, and viscosity can be studied within in your simulation. Gravity is included as a constant background-field and a stratified atmosphere can be set up, if needed.
