Short description | Open-source off-line Eulerian model for atmospheric passive transport and deposition based on the Advection-Diffusion-Sedimentation (ADS) equation. In FALL3D-8.0 (Folch et al., 2020; Prata et al., 2020), the ADS equation has been extended to handle passive transport of other substances different from tephra (aerosols, particles and radionuclides) |

Co-design | Indirectly. The Mini-app “MiniAero” is an explicit (using RK4) unstructured finite volume code that solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, applicable to FALL3D. Both inviscid and viscous terms are included. The viscous terms can be optionally included or excluded. |
