- Interfaces in parallel. The version 1.01 restriction that the number of processors should not be changed for a simulation has been removed.
- Mixing plane. For multi-stage turbo machinery applications.
- Porous media reformulation for segregated flow model. More robust and more widely applicable than the preliminary version 1.01 formulation.
- Local coordinate systems. For velocity and direction vector specification. Cartesian and cylindrical systems.
- Engineering units. For input and display. SI, USCS, and user-defined.
- User coding. For boundary conditions, material properties, initial conditions, and post-processing. FORTRAN and C. There is no documentation or training materials for this feature, so from a support standpoint it would be good to minimize the use of user coding until the 1.4 release.
- Visualization additions, optimization, and usability enhancements.
- Reynolds Stress turbulence model improvements.
- Moment coefficient report.
- Wall convective thermal boundary condition.
- Mesh import improvements.
- 64-bit Opteron and Solaris builds.
- Documentation is better structured with more content and many
