A quick introduction to the coupling library preCICE
Please login to view abstract download link
This talk will open the minisymposium and introduce the main concepts of the open-source preCICE coupling library for partitioned, black-box, multi-physics and multiscale simulations. preCICE enables the efficient, robust, and parallel coupling of separate single-physics solvers. This includes, but is not restricted to fluid-structure interaction. preCICE treats these solvers as black-boxes and, thus, only minimally-invasive changes are necessary to prepare a solver for coupling. Ready-to-use adapters for well known open-source solvers, including OpenFOAM, SU2, CalculiX, FEniCS, and deal.II, are available, while the core library is included in the xSDK ecosystem. The software offers methods for equation coupling, fully parallel communication, data mapping, and time interpolation schemes. For more information, please visit https://precice.org/.
