PyForFluids











PyForFluids (Python-Fortran-Fluids) is a Python package focused in the
calculation of Fluid properties based on Ecuations of State (EoS). It provides
a simple interface to work from Python but also exploits the high performance
Fortran code for the more heavy calculations.
It’s designed with modularity in mind, in a way that new thermodyinamic models
are easy to add, they even can be written either in Python or Fortran.

Motivation
While nowadays there are a lot of tools for calculation of thermodynamic
properties of fluids, most of them either are hard to mantain and don't have an
integrated testing system or are embeded to other softwares (as spredsheat
software) limiting the things that can be done to that enviroment.
PyForFluids aims to be a tool:

With high performance, since most of it's calculations are done in Fortran
Easy to scale due to it's modular design using the power of Python objects.
Continuosly tested (at every push)to spot any problems as soon as possible.

Instalation
For installing PyForFluids you just need to:
pip install pyforfluids

Make sure to check the requirements first!
Requirements
Be sure to install numpyand a fortran compiler previously, since both are
needed for the compilation of Fortran code.
NumPy
pip install numpy

Fortran Compiler
Linux

Debian-based (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint,...)

sudo apt install gfortran


Arch-based (Arch, Manjaro, Garuda, ...)

sudo pacman -S gfortran

Windows
We recommended using the Windows Subsystem for Linux
WSL
If WSL ain't being used, the native Windows wheels will be download instead,
so no need to worry!
MacOS
brew install gfortran
