"CompFlowLab: A Python code to develop and prototype new data-driven models for challenging compressible flow problems with shocks and chemical reactions"
CompFlowLab is an open-source Python finite volume solver that combines a one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes solver with a modular reduced-order modeling (ROM) framework. It is designed as a simple, easy-to-use testbed where researchers in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and ROM can quickly prototype and evaluate new methods on problems that are both challenging and computationally manageable.
CompFlowLab is particularly suited for reacting and convection-dominated flows, including supersonic and hypersonic regimes, as well as detonation problems.
Following documentation provides a starting point for using CompFlowLab, offering a high-level overview of the solver, guidance on running simulations, and instructions for analyzing results. The underlying mathematical formulations and implemented ROM techniques are introduced briefly, with the focus placed on practical usage.
