OpenLabs in FINETM/Open: Create and customize your physical models
Kilian Claramunt, Yingchen Li, Jan E. Anker, Nijso Beishuizen, Dirk Wunsch, Thomas Deconinck, Selvan Gnanakumaran

Motivation
Industrial applications usually involve multiple physical phenomena Users should be allowed to adapt and/or add modeling capabilities in a flexible, efficient and user-friendly way ... without programming Fortran or C++ code
Combustion, radiation, pollutant formation, CHT, Multiphase flows, e.g. cavitation

OpenLabs
OpenLabs allows users to customize or add physical models in a flexible and a user-friendly GUI Users dont need to care about programming details and code structure Users benefit from NUMECAs CFD industrial environment and features (HPC, parallelization, meshing capabilities, advanced numerical methods) OpenLabs can be used in a wide variety of industrial and academic applications Compared to source-coded models, CFD solutions are obtained with identical computing and memory costs Free access for all FINETM/Open community
