Acrossim: A toolkit for cross-platform integration of CFD simulation data in computer graphics

Abstract

Acrossim is a versatile toolkit designed to seamlessly integrate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation data into game engines. This modular, component-based toolkit incorporates data from widely used CFD solvers in engineering. The primary focus of Acrossim lies in its lightweight, end-to-end, and automated approach, making it a cost-effective and freely available resource. The toolkit aims to encourage the development of cross-platform user applications, such as virtual reality, utilizing CFD simulation. This approach allows for easy consumption of CFD data in user-friendly digital environments, providing an attractive alternative to traditional engineering simulation software.
