Sandbox flow configuration: A rapid prototyping tool inside XCompact3d

A Jupyter sandbox environment coupled into the high-order Navier-Stokes solver Xcompact3d

This work aims to break many of the barriers to entry in a Navier-Stokes solver by coupling it to a Jupyter sandbox environment. For students in computational fluid dynamics, it provides direct hands-on experience and a safe place for practising and learning, while for advanced users and code developers, it works as a rapid prototyping tool.

Xcompact3d

Xcompact3d is a Fortran-MPI based, finite difference high-performance code for solving the incompressible or low Mach number Navier-Stokes equations.
