Introduction – CHAMPS+ Documentation

Welcome to the CHAMPS+ documentation site.

CHAMPS+ is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) framework built around a fully-featured command-line solver.

  • Engine (Solver Core)
    The engine is a standalone CFD solver that can be run entirely from the command line.
    It reads a single input file describing the case setup—mesh, physics models, numerics, and output controls—and provides a rich set of command-line options for controlling execution, parallelism, and diagnostics.
    The engine can be used independently for scripted runs, automated studies, or HPC workflows.

A graphical user interface (GUI) is also in development and will be documented here once it's ready.

Quick Start​

For the fastest path to get up and running:
