FOODIE, Fortran Object-Oriented Differential-equations Integration Environment

  • FOODIE is a pure Fortran (KISS) library providing an awesome environment for the numerical integration of Differential-equations (ODE, PDE);
  • FOODIE is Fortran 2008+ standard compliant;
  • FOODIE is OOP designed;
  • FOODIE is a Free, Open Source Project.

What is FOODIE?

Modern Fortran standards (2003+) have introduced support for Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Exploiting new features like Abstract Data Type (ADT) is now possible to develop a KISS library providing an awesome environment for the numerical integration of Differential-equations such as Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations (ODE, PDE). FOODIE is tailored to the systems arising from the semi-discretization of PDEs, but it is not limited to them.

The FOODIE environment allows the (numerical) solution of general, non linear differential equations system of the form:

IVP

where:

  • U_t = dU/dt;
  • U is the vector of state variables being a function of the time-like independent variable t;
  • R is the (vectorial) residual function, it could be a non linear function of the solution U itself;
  • F is the (vectorial) initial conditions function.

The FOODIE has two main purposes:

  • for developers devising new schemes for the numerical integrations of differential equations (DE):
    • provide a concise, clear, robust and comprehensive abstract environment by means of which:
      • express the solvers formulae with a very high-level language, it being close as much as possible to their natual mathematical formulations; this ensures:
        • clearness, conciseness and robustness;
        • fast-developing;
  • for clients that must solve a differential equations system:
    • provide a simple, standard API for many built-in DE solvers out-of-the-box, thus allowing:
      • fast-solution of new problems;
      • robustness: the same DE solver is applied to different problems, i.e. cross-validation;

Status Status

FOODIE project is young, but developed with love. Many integrators have been implemented using the Rouson's Abstract Data Type Pattern and tested with complex problems, but the library API is still in beta testing status. Nevertheless, FOODIE is already proven to be able to integrate a wide range of different ODE problems, from pure ODEs (Lorenz and inertial oscillations equations) to complex PDEs (Burgers and Euler equations), see the documentation.

We are searching for Fortraners enthusiast joining our team!
