- tejassanap 8y agoThanks.
- jacquesm 8y agoAnd lots of Finite Element Analysis packages still use Fortran under the hood.
- pge 8y agoalso a lot of computational fluid dynamics modeling (naval, aeronautical, automotive, etc.)
- int_19h 8y agoI've noticed that Fortran comes up a lot when talking to people who do fluid dynamics simulations. Curiously, it often does so in context of Python. One specific example I can remember was a library written in Fortran, with unit tests written in Python.
- m_mueller 8y agoFortran and Python go together very well (they complement each other in just the right ways and there's all the bindings / data structure compatibility with Numpy that you need). Glue code / UI in Python, Numerics in Numpy + homegrown Fortran, that's how I'd implement a numerical model from scratch today.
- septc 8y agoJust out of curiosity, what do you use for calling Fortran from Python (e.g. f2py, ctypes)? Do you have any suggestion about how to combine them together (e.g., for parallel calculations)?
- m_mueller 8y agoSo I haven't yet had the chance to do it myself, but yes I'd look at f2py first and how to integrate it with Numpy.
