-POL(I)FLOWS is an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming|object-oriented]] numerical simulation software developed by [[http://metafor.ltas.ulg.ac.be/dokuwiki/team/mcerquaglia|Marco Lucio Cerquaglia]] at the [[http://www.facsa.ulg.ac.be/cms/c_283347/en/portail-am|Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering]] of the [[https://www.ulg.ac.be/cms/c_5000/en/home|University of Liège]] during his PhD, conducted in the [[http://metafor.ltas.ulg.ac.be|MN2L]] research group.
-The code is for the moment limited to the simulation of 2D incompressible flows based on a Lagrangian approach in the spirit of the so-called PFEM (Particle-FEM) method (see e.g. http://www.cimne.com/pfem/).
-The core of the code is developped in [[http://www.cplusplus.com/|C++]], while the user interface is written in [[https://www.python.org/|Python]].
-The C++/Python interface is managed by [[http://www.swig.org/|SWIG]].
-This small wiki mainly illustrates how to write the input Python (.py) file in order to run a simulation properly. No details about the implementation are given herein.
-**NB**: This document does not represent a manual and it is intended for "aware" users!
-**NB2**: please note that the code is developped in a Windows environment, so all the "operational" commands described hereafter (not the input file structure) are intended for Windows users. Nevertheless the code should be almost 100% portable so, in the very next future, it should work fine on Unix/Linux systems without major changes, even if never tested so far!
-**If you want to have an idea on how the code works, the first thing you should do is take a look at the [[poliflows:flowchart|Flowchart]]...**
