Releasing New Software for POD - Reduced Order Model Construction in OpenFOAM
 

Hello All,


We are happy to announce release of "AccelerateCFD_Community_Edition" v0.1.0, a new software for constructing POD Galerkin reduced order model (ROM) using high fidelity OpenFOAM CFD simulations. Software is release under GNU Public License Version 3.
A tutorial case as well as step by step guide to for the software is included on Github.


https://github.com/IllinoisRocstar/AccelerateCFD_CE


AccelerateCFD_Community_Edition has following features:

• Highly automated, and ready to use utilities without any programming or installation required.
• Construct basis for reduced order model using "Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD)" principle from OpenFOAM CFD simulation.
• Utilities for visualizing flow energy contained in each POD basis.
• Construct and solve Galerkin reduced order model with artificial closure viscosity.
• Very easy input interface using OpenFOAM style dictionary.
• Ability to reconstruct full order model from ROM.
• Compatible with OpenFOAM 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0.

We will also be putting some contribution guidelines for OpenFOAM community users. Please feel free to open up any issues on Github and developer team will get back to you as soon as possible.


Best Regards,
