What is OpenPNM? --------------
OpenPNM is open-source framework for conducting pore network modeling simulations of multiphase transport in porous materials. It includes modules for generating various common network topologies, pore and throat geometry models, pore scale physics models, and fluid property estimation. It also contains a large set of algorithms for running various simulations such drainage curves, gas diffusion, permeability, and more.
OpenPNM is written in Python making extensive use of Scipy. Python is a very flexible object oriented programming language that will be familiar to those with experience using Matlab. OpenPNM takes advantages of the OOP paradigm to structure the framework, but we stress that it is coded by engineers without significant prior knowledge of object-oriented coding. Our goal is to help other scientists and engineers harness the power and intuitive pore network modeling approach, so if you are interested in this package, please contact us through Github, or email one of the developer directly.
