Abstract

Numerical simulations involving multiple, physically different domains can be solved effectively by coupling simulation programs, or solvers. The coordination of the different solvers is commonly handled by a coupling shell. A coupling shell synchronizes the execution of the solvers and handles the transfer of data from one physical domain to another. In this paper, we introduce Flecs, a flexible coupling shell, designed for implementing and applying an interface for multidisciplinary simulations with superior accuracy. The aim is not to achieve the best possible efficiency or to support a large feature set, but to provide a flexible platform for developing new data transfer algorithms and coupling schemes.
