A lot of fluid dynamics code is in Fortran and has been validated in wind tunnel. Scientists do not care about what language it is in nor they want to port and risk breaking the pre validated code. They want to run the code and be able to provide a citation as the ground for their work. Scientifically they would need to produce academic literature validating the port and only then come back to the matter at hand.
- ForOldHack 6y agoAll of the stuff at Ames that ran on the Cray, was written in HPE Fortran, because the compiler has the ability to vectorize it, and yes, a lot of those fluid simulations that are in their final form for airfoil design do get validated in wind tunnels. I would love to see some fluid dynamic work run in a web browser, but ... You need the WebAssembly to be able to vectorize and optimize it: See Airvisual.com or https://paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/ https://paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/
