  text: We present nsCouette, a highly scalable software tool to solve the Navier–Stokes
    equations for incompressible fluid flow between differentially heated and independently
    rotating, concentric cylinders. It is based on a pseudospectral spatial discretization
    and dynamic time-stepping. It is implemented in modern Fortran with a hybrid MPI-OpenMP
    parallelization scheme and thus designed to compute turbulent flows at high Reynolds
    and Rayleigh numbers. An additional GPU implementation (C-CUDA) for intermediate
    problem sizes and a version for pipe flow (nsPipe) are also provided.
