1) WHAT IS AGELADY:

AGELADY is a FORTRAN77 program, using double precision arithmetic, which solves the Ladyzhenskaya equations in the streamfunction-voricity version describing the flow of an incompressible fluid.

*  If we set      the above equaton reduces to the streamfunction equation of the Navier-Stokes equations.

 

*  This program uses the alternating Group Explict (AGE) Iterative method to solve a problem with known solution in the 2-dimensional square [0,1]X[0,1].

 

*  The program can solve the Navier-Stokes equations and the Smagorinsky model and the Biharmonic equation.

 

* The program uses the GUI MATLAB as interface method to communicate friendly with the users. Also it uses all graphing utilities in MATLAB to visualize the solution of the problem.

 

* Fig. 1  shows the first window of the program

2) HOW TO USE AGELADY:

Copy the AGELADY  folder in your hard disk and within MATLAB command go to AGELADY folder  and just type main the above window will be started. Then enter the parameters and press RUN. For the first time we recommend that you just press the RUN button and accept the parameters.
