It also provides features relevant to geophysical flows like ocean tides, tsunamis, river flows etc. Gerris uses finite volume method scheme to solve the equations.
Given below are some examples of Gerris simulations on Rescale’s platform – ScaleX. With simple workflows, Gerris simulations can be run on ScaleX to improve run times.

| Analysis Type | CFD |
| Description | 2D viscous flow around a heated cylinder. A fluid is flowing at a constant velocity from the left in a channel bounded by solid walls on the top and bottom. After the initial formation of vortices, a Benard-von Kármán vortex street is formed in the wake of the cylinder. |
