Unified Multiphysics Modeling:
From Concept to Scalable Execution
In this webinar, we present a next-generation open-source multiphysics framework designed for flexible, scalable, and robust simulation of multi-region continuum problems within the OpenFOAM ecosystem. With a novel modular architecture, this framework enables seamless integration of arbitrary physical subdomains and supports both monolithic and partitioned coupling strategies - at the level of each individual transport equation.
You will gain deep insights into the formulation of generalized interface conditions, the software's layered C++ design, and its application to problems ranging from conjugate heat transfer to multiphase flows, lithium-ion batteries, and FSI. Whether you are developing new solvers or looking to simulate advanced coupled systems at scale, this session is tailored to accelerate your work.
Overview:- Introduction to computational multiphysics and its motivation
- Mathematical foundation: generalized equations and interface conditions
- Design philosophy: modularity, extensibility, and high-performance parallelism
- Implementation features: run-time selection, object registry, coupled boundary conditions
- Deployment examples: Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT), Lithium-Ion Batteries, Multiphase Flow, and Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI)
- Comparison to existing multiphysics frameworks (OpenPALM, preCICE, MOOSE, etc.)
The learing objectives:
- Understand the unified mathematical formulation behind coupling
- Learn to assemble region- and interface-specific physics independently
- Apply monolithic and partitioned coupling strategies effectively
- Gain fundamental strategies for domain decomposition and parallel execution
- Explore how to use the framework in real-world applications and benchmarks
