The next major version of Caelus, 9.04, was released. This release comes with several enhancements to the library and CPL. Here’s a summary of the new capabilities:

• Caelus documentation moved to Read the Docs: https://caelus-cml.readthedocs.io
• Updated thermophysical library [OpenFOAM Foundation]
• Updated Lagrangian library to a barycentric formulation [OpenFOAM Foundation]
• Stability enhancements and new non-Newtonian viscosity models [Applied CCM]
• Automatic parametric simulation using CPL. Using a template case and a YAML-based input file, CPL can setup, prep, run, and post-process multiple simulations for parametric sweeps. Documentation and examples are available at the CPL docs [Shreyas Ananthan]
• Different Caelus versions can now be run side-by-side using CPL [Shreyas Ananthan]
• Caelus applications and libraries as well as external applications and libraries can be compiled with CPL. Version specific compilation is supported [Shreyas Ananthan]

If you’re not already familiar with Caelus, you can read more about it on the website. Its free and open-source. The file formats are compatible with OpenFOAM but there have been many improvements to it such that it is now moving independently in its own direction.
