PyFR - flow solver (OpenCL/CUDA)

[PrzemoF]

http://www.pyfr.org/

PyFR is an open-source Python based framework for solving advection-diffusion type problems on streaming architectures using the Flux Reconstruction approach of Huynh.

They use similar set of tools as FreeCAD (gmesh, VTK), so I'm hoping the integration should not be very hard.

Would it be possible to explain to a structural engineer what could be analyzed with this solver

Flow in short. The image above shows something called Karman vortex street. You'll see the same image, but animated here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_ ... dge_(1940)

Does it mean it is another solver to analyse flow? Like Elmer and OpenFoam?

[PrzemoF]

Yes, same category. I'm not sure if Elmer or OpenFoam work on GPU using OoenCL/CUDA.
