LINUX_REPO

A cross-platform collection of scientific computing programs and simulation workflows for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and neutron kinetics studies.

About

LINUX_REPO is an engineering/scientific toolkit focused on practical physics workflows:

• CFD simulation support built around OpenFOAM workflows.
• Neutron kinetics and reactor-physics style calculations based on DRAGON_V5.
• Post-processing and plotting support using psplot.
• Companion reference implementations in Fortran and C++ for numerical validation and algorithm cross-checking.

The repository is designed with portability in mind, avoiding compiler-specific behavior where practical so the same code can be built and run across Linux toolchains.

Core Objectives

• Provide reusable simulation and analysis tooling for physics workflows.
• Maintain implementation parity across languages (Fortran/C++) where useful.
• Keep code and build assumptions platform-conscious and reproducible.
• Support both exploratory studies and repeatable engineering calculations.

Technology Stack

• Simulation/Modeling: OpenFOAM, DRAGON_V5
• Languages: Fortran, C++
• Visualization/Post-processing: psplot
• Target Environment: Linux (with cross-platform coding conventions)

Repository Structure

The repository currently serves as a top-level hub for physics software components and workflows. As modules are added, this section should describe each major directory, purpose, and build/run steps.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jhaal/LINUX_REPO.git
   cd LINUX_REPO
   

2. Review module-specific instructions as they are introduced.
3. Use compiler toolchains appropriate for Fortran/C++ numerical code and your simulation dependencies.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome via issues and pull requests. When contributing:

• Keep code portable and avoid compiler-specific shortcuts unless clearly justified.
• Document assumptions, numerical methods, and boundary conditions for scientific reproducibility.
• Include validation notes when adding or changing physics calculations.
