Explore computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with augmented reality!

MIMIX is an augmented reality (AR) application to visualize multiphysics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation results in a real environment. The fundamental aim of MIMIX is to experience the utilization of multiphysics CFD simulations in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Markers are attached to the photos of the application.

MMIX: Mimicking the nature of mixing via AR-based CFD

The initial version mainly provides information about two case studies simulated with OpenFOAM.

Case study #1: Visualization of transient mixing in a stirred tank reactor
Case study #2: Visualization of laminar airflow around a solid object

Both steady-state and transient CFD simulation results are available in the AR application. Virtual buttons are set to replay the transient mixing process in the vessel. Further enhancements are yet to be implemented in the near future. Another case study carried out previously can be found at https://charming-etn.eu/2019/09/10/from-a-wise-man-to-augmented-reality/.

We are always more than glad to have any kind of feedback.

MIMIX is being developed by a member (Ph.D. researcher) of CHARMING European Training Network. More on the project can be found at https://charming-etn.eu/.
