In this webinar, we present a next-generation open-source multiphysics framework designed for flexible, scalable, and robust simulation of multi-region continuum problems within the OpenFOAM ecosystem. With a novel modular architecture, this framework enables seamless integration of arbitrary physical subdomains and supports both monolithic and partitioned coupling strategies - at the level of each individual transport equation.
You will gain deep insights into the formulation of generalized interface conditions, the software's layered C++ design, and its application to problems ranging from conjugate heat transfer to multiphase flows, lithium-ion batteries, and FSI. Whether you are developing new solvers or looking to simulate advanced coupled systems at scale, this session is tailored to accelerate your work.
The learning objectives:
· Understand the unified mathematical formulation behind coupling
· Learn to assemble region- and interface-specific physics independently
· Apply monolithic and partitioned coupling strategies effectively
· Gain fundamental strategies for domain decomposition and parallel execution
· Explore how to use the framework in real-world applications and benchmarks
Who is the webinar suitable for?
· Researchers and engineers working on coupled physics simulations
· Computational scientists building high-fidelity digital twins
· Developers of fuel cell, heat transfer, FSI, and multiphase flow models
· HPC specialists seeking modular and scalable CFD multiphysics solutions
· Advanced OpenFOAM users developing custom solvers

"Wir sparen dadurch sehr viel an Labortätigkeiten, die sehr aufwändig, zeitaufwändig und personalintensiv sind. Es ist so einfach zu bedienen, dass auch Nicht-Ingenieure den StrömungsRaum® bedienen können."
"Die Einführung der Automatisierung in unsere Simulationsprozesse durch die Expertise von IANUS hat sowohl für uns als auch für unsere Kunden erhebliche Vorteile gebracht."
"Durch das Partnerpaket können wir spontan anfallende Simulation von Wendelverteilern schnell umsetzen. Wir schicken lediglich die Werkzeuggeometrie und den Prozesspunkt, der Rest wird von IANUS selbst umgesetzt. Das spart uns wertvolle Ressourcen."
