Flow5 released to open source
- GranPC 9mo agoContext from the homepage (https://flow5.tech https://flow5.tech): An analysis tool for planes and sails operating at low Reynolds numbers flow5 is a potential flow solver with built-in pre- and post processing functionalities. Its purpose is to make preliminary designs of wings, planes, hydrofoils and sails reliable, fast and user-friendly.
- LASR 9mo agoWith so many things being called Flow these days, this one is probably the most fitting.

- tgv 9mo agoCertain types of (numerical) problems are very parallel in nature. LLMs, for example. But obviously not every problem is. And sometimes a parallel solution isn't the most efficient.

- samuell 9mo agoCurious that this hit the front page. What kind of projects is this software used for?
- taneq 9mo ago> Its purpose is to make preliminary designs of wings, planes, hydrofoils and sails reliable, fast and user-friendly. From the main project page. So it’s for designing aircraft, mostly.
- euroderf 9mo agoMake it work for paper airplanes and you have a nice teaching tool.
