Hello, Could somebody explain to me the difference in the application of SC/Flow and SC/Tetra?

Hello,

Could somebody explain to me the difference in the application of SC/Flow and SC/Tetra?

  • Both of them belong to the unstructured mesh solver.
    The difference between scFLOW and SC/Tetra is the definition points of physical variables.
    I've attached the image of that.

    Please understand that the followings are all my personal view.
    SC/Tetra had been developed for 17 years from 1999 to 2016.
    But I've heard that the develop team decided to make a faster CFD code than SC/Tetra in order to get the solutions of steady state of the CFD problems .
    So they have started to develop scFLOW for the purpose from arround 2016 .
    Now their main power of developping of the code focus on only scFLOW.
    However SC/Tetra also has a lot of fans , so it can be used for them.
