GeoChemFoam is an open-source OpenFOAM-based computational platform for simulating flow and reactive transport in porous media, with particular applications to pore-scale modelling and digital rock physics. This webinar will provide a practical introduction to running GeoChemFoam on High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities.
Using ARCHER2 as a demonstration platform, we will show the complete workflow for setting up and running a GeoChemFoam simulation on HPC. This will include installing and configuring GeoChemFoam, preparing and running a flow simulation directly on a 3D micro-CT image of a porous material, and processing and visualising the simulation results remotely using ParaView.
Although the demonstrations will be carried out on ARCHER2, the workflow and principles presented are broadly applicable to other HPC systems, including facilities such as Cirrus. The webinar is intended for researchers interested in using HPC for pore-scale flow and reactive transport simulations, and no previous experience with GeoChemFoam is required.
