Hi there 👋, welcome to The GeoChemFoam Project github! Here you will find links to the source code, precompiled dockers, a users wiki, publications, a discussion forum and more!
The GeoChemFoam Project source code is hosted here on github. A precompiled docker of the latest version is also available on the docker hub.
The GeochemFoam Project is the world's most advanced open source pore-scale numerical simulator based on OpenFOAM founded at the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University in 2019 by Dr Julien Maes and Dr Hannah Menke. GeoChemFoam is made specifically for researching pore-scale processes related to the energy transition and our NetZero carbon future. Below is a list of current capabilities, but we are always adding new stuff and we welcome contributions from the community. Drop us a line at GeoChemFoam@hw.ac.uk.
