The presented work focuses on the development of a flexible tool for the numerical simulation of fluid flows with the FVM. Especially the modular und object-oriented design of the software is emphasized. The implemented tensor arithmetic allows a comfortable and easy discretization of the fluid-dynamic equations. The parallelization of the software is done by means of the MPI standard. To validate the concept of the software design, a cavitation model for the steady-state simulation of the cavitating flow in hydraulic turbo-machines is implemented into the software. The model is based on spherical bubble dynamics. By the definition of an effective vapor pressure, it is highly suitable for calculating fluid flows over a wide range of fluid properties and temperatures.
