Software

Several tools and packages are used and further developed in-house in our group:

C++, Python, PETSc, DeepImageJ, Tensorflow,

CA and Monte-carlo based methods

MeSo - Meso-scale Solidification solver incorporating a sharp-interface based interface tracking approach

OpenFoam - CFD solver and multi-phase solvers for two and three-phase systems

uMatIC - Microstructural Simulation Software - Prediction of dendrite growth during solidification of alloys

Commercial packages such as Ansys, Flow3D and Abaqus for translating the research methods in complex processing conditions
