My implementation of the GaussSeidel smoother using a Diagnol direct access scheme in OpenFOAM as compared to the default GS smoother LDU gives almost ~50% improvements in cache misses and hits for a structured 3D cavity tutorial. Profiled using the amazing LIKWID profiler. Will share a deep technical report soon. Check it out and use - https://github.com/amartyadav/DIAGaussSeidel-Smoother-OpenFOAM

Released my DIA-format Gauss-Seidel smoother plugin for OpenFOAM v13. MIT licensed.

Replaces the default LDU smoother on structured hex meshes — DIA stores diagonal bands contiguously, reducing pointer indirection and DRAM pressure. Expecting 10–20% wall-clock gains and better cache utilisation based on standalone profiling. Full OpenFOAM benchmarks incoming.

My work for the month is to optimise the matrix adressing scheme of OpenFOAM to reduce cache miss. Initial idea is to replace the LDU Matrix addressing scheme with Diagnol matrix addressing scheme using multiple arrays for structures meshes. Will check it out on a simple 2D Poisson equation using Gauss-Seidel solver to check performance benefits, and will eventually proceed to introduce a new solver as a plugin if benefits are noticeable.
Wish me luck.

Hands-on CFD learning in action 🚀

FOSSEE CFD team conducted a Basics of OpenFOAM workshop at Azeotropy 2026, IIT Bombay.

75 Chemical Engineering students explored real CFD simulations using open source tools.

Might publish a blog or two in a few weeks about my work with OpenFOAM, different profilers, and an implementation of an LBM CFD kernel on RISC-V with POSITS.

What a great company to be working for. Learning so much!

Has anyone here worked with DBD plasma actuators for separation control at low Reynolds numbers (Re ~10⁵–10⁶)?
I’m especially interested in practical integration and validation using OpenFOAM or SU2.
