dsmcFoam+ is a direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) solver for rarefied gas dynamics, implemented within the OpenFOAM software framework, and parallelised with MPI. It open-source released under GNU General Public License in publicly available repository that includes detailed documentation tutorial DSMC flow cases. This release of code many features not found standard dsmcFoam, such as molecular vibrational electronic energy modes, chemical reactions, subsonic pressure boundary conditions....
This paper introduces mdFoam+, which is an MPI parallelised molecular dynamics (MD) solver implemented entirely within the OpenFOAM software framework. It open-source and released under same GNU General Public License (GPL) as OpenFOAM. The source code a publicly open repository that includes detailed documentation tutorial cases. Since mdFoam+ designed C++ object-oriented framework, it inherits number of key features. for extensibility flexibility, so aimed first foremost MD research tool,...
A multiphase fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework using open-source software has been developed, utilising components able to run on high-performance computing platforms.A partitioned approach is employed, ensuring a separation of concerns (fluid, structure, and coupling), allowing design flexibility robustness while reducing future maintenance effort.Multiphase FSI test cases have simulated compared with published results show good agreement.This demonstrates the ability this in...
A domain-decomposed method to simultaneously couple the classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) methods is proposed. This approach utilises MPI-based general coupling library, Multiscale Universal Interface. The provides a direct strategy two OpenFOAM based solvers, mdFoam+ dsmcFoam+, enabling scenarios where both solvers assume one discrete particle equal molecule or atom. ultimate goal of this work enable complex multi-scale simulations involving micro,...
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is a phenomenon that appears in wide range of scientific research and engineering applications at different spatial temporal scales. There are many in-house/commercial solvers capable modelling FSI, but high numerical robustness scalability codes still demand. In this study, framework for FSI simulations has been developed using partitioned approach aimed both good computational scalability. Open-source software used each component the coupled solution, with...

As part of a wider project to understand the applicability utilising slosh-based damping for wing-like structures, simulations partially filled tanks subjected harmonically oscillating and vertical motion are presented. The Volume Fluid modelling approach is used capture air–water interface different turbulence models based on Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations employed. No-model also conducted demonstrate efficacy using in simulation sloshing flows. Accuracy assessed by comparing...
The added damping generated by liquid sloshing in a tank has been utilized number of civil applications, including aviation, to reduce the vibration system. As part wider EU H2020 project called SLOWD (Sloshing Wing Dynamics), presented study performed numerical simulations on slosh-induced tanks that were under free decay oscillations and embedded an aircraft wing-like structure. A new open-source partitioned fluid–structure interaction software framework is employed for simulations....
Clutter within information visualization (infovis) systems is an area of continuing concern and receiving increasing research interest.
