TitleFEGC 1.0: Flow Energy Gradient Calculator as a toolbox for predicting fluidflow instability initiation locus AffiliationsIman Farahbakhsh1 · Benyamin Barani Nia21 Department of Maritime Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. AbstractThe Flow Energy Gradient Calculator (FEGC) is a Fortran-based tool designed to analyze fluid instability by calculating the energy gradient ratio, offering insights into flow stability and identifying loci for instability initiation and chaos. FEGC 1.0 provides a robust algorithm for detailed energy gradient analysis in fluid dynamics, particularly in two-dimensional fields. However, it faces challenges such as limited scalability, lack of a graphical user interface (GUI), and restricted integration with other tools. Future developments …
