HopeFOAM is a major extension of OpenFOAM to provide higher order finite element method and other numerical methods for computational mechanics. HopeFOAM has following features:

 High Order：In addition to the finite volume discretization method used in OpenFOAM, HopeFOAM aims at integrating high-order discretization methods into the computational mechanics Toolbox, among which DGM（Discontinuous Galerkin Method）is the first one.

 Parallel：In order to improve the performance and scalability of parallel computing, parallel computational toolkits/software are integrated into HopeFOAM to accelerate the discretization and computational procedures.

 Extensible：By incorporating with the high order discretization and efficient parallel computing, HopeFOAM provides an extensible software framework for further development of application module and easy-to-use interfaces for developers.

 FOAM：The current version of HopeFOAM is a major extension of the OpenFOAM-4.0 released by the OpenFOAM Foundation on the 28th of June, 2016.

HopeFOAM-0.1 is the first publicly released version of HopeFOAM and developed by a major extension of OpenFOAM-4.0. The Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM) is implemented in HopeFOAM-0.x. HopeFOAM-0.1 provides 2D-DGM and related support. The major components include data structure, DGM discretization, solvers and related tools. PETSc is used for solving of systems of linear equations. HopeFOAM-0.1 keeps the user interfaces consistent with OpenFOAM. Thus, users of OpenFOAM could implement and adopt corresponding high order DGM solvers in a relatively straightforward way.

Great work! Will it support GPU parallel computing in a future release?

GPU support will be the implemented in one years maybe.

Dear ExerciseGroup,

Sincere thanks for making this piece of software available!

I have a question regarding the interface to PETSc. Does HopeFoam
call PETSc linear solvers on the individual subdomains or does HopeFoam
instead delegate parallel processing as a whole to PETSc?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Congrats again for your efforts,

Domenico Lahaye - TU Delft
