COFFE is the finite-element flow solver within HPCMP CREATE-AV™ Kestrel. Kestrel supports a range of flow solver fidelity options to support the DoD acquisition community, and COFFE targets the need for high-fidelity flow solutions. The COFFE solver, like all components of Kestrel, is under continual development as part of the CREATE-AV program. This paper documents the usage of COFFE on several workshop cases, which demonstrate new Kestrel capabilities and exercise features unique to COFFE. It concludes with a brief discussion of upcoming features in development for COFFE.
