2D CFD

An open-source, two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics solver using the lattice-Boltzman methods.

Getting Started

A copy of a similar application is written in four different apps: a Java app, a Processing app, a Python app, and a webpage app. To get started with any of these, click on the respective folder and make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed.

Prerequisites

Java App

• Java 1.8

Processing App

• The latest build of Processing from Processing.org

Python App

• Python 3.7

Then, install the following modules via pip3 install

• numpy, tested with 1.16.2
• time, tested with 1.0.0
• matplotlib, tested with 3.0.3

Webpage App

• HTML with CSS and Javascript

Installing

Java App

The Java version can be run as a .jar file or from its source in your favorite IDE, such as Eclipse. To run the .jar file:

cd [Insert path to folder where .jar was saved]
java -jar java_2dcfd.jar

Processing App

Launch the Processing IDE by opening the main.pde file from your computer.

Python App

python3 [file path]/latticeBoltzmannDemo.py

Webpage App

Runnable from Fluid Dynamics Simulation.html
