Fluidsimfoam

Python framework for OpenFOAM

Fluidsimfoam is a Python package which will allow one to write Fluidsim solvers based for the simulations on the C++ CFD code OpenFOAM. There will be open-source solvers (in particular fluidsimfoam-phill and fluidsimfoam-tgv) and it will not be difficult to write your own solver based on your OpenFOAM cases.

With a Fluidsimfoam solver, it will becomes very easy to

• launch/restart simulations with Python scripts and terminal commands,
• load simulations, read the associated parameters/data and produce nice figures/movies.

Fluidsimfoam can be seen as a workflow manager for OpenFOAM or a Python wrapper around OpenFOAM. It uses OpenFOAM on the background and is thus NOT a rewrite of OpenFOAM!

Fluidsimfoam is now in very early development. The goal is to get the equivalent of Snek5000, our Fluidsim framework for Nek5000.
