Simulates high-performance computational fluid dynamics using pseudospectral methods and Python-based analysis.
FluidSim provides a comprehensive environment for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, bridging the gap between high-performance Fortran/C++ performance and Python's productivity. It enables researchers and engineers to solve complex equations like Navier-Stokes, shallow water, and stratified flows using efficient pseudospectral methods with FFT support. With built-in MPI parallelization, hierarchical parameter management, and integrated visualization tools, it streamlines the entire research workflow from initial configuration to advanced turbulence analysis.
