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

We currently target OpenFOAM v2206. See more in Fluidsimfoam documentation.
