Computational environment for the simulation of convection-diffusion problems with moving heat sources. C++ library with Python interface.
In particular, it can be used for 3D printing problems. TODO: add gif
Pull the docker image and run an interactive container:
docker pull ordinaryslim/mhs_chimera
docker run -ti ordinaryslim/mhs_chimera
The container will spawn you in this folder after which you can try out the examples / tests, e.g.
cd examples/3d_ded_unitary_params
python3 main.py --run-coupled --layers=1 --case-name=coupled# Runs Chimera model
Use docker cp to transfer the results to your machine after which you can open them using Paraview
Dependencies and instructions can be found in the Dockerfile
I recommend examining the resulting vtks using Paraview.
A Chimera model run produces two datasets, one for the background domain and one for the moving domain.
