Contributed to chaos-polymtl/lethe by developing and enhancing CFD-DEM simulation capabilities, focusing on gas-solid spouted bed modeling, dynamic particle insertion, and detailed collision event logging. Leveraged C++ and Python to implement unresolved CFD-DEM examples with experimental validation, extend particle management features, and synchronize MPI-parallel logging for multi-core workflows. Addressed a segmentation fault in particle insertion by refining sorting logic, improving stability and scalability for large-scale simulations. Emphasized test-driven development and comprehensive documentation, enabling reliable validation and streamlined onboarding. The work improved data integrity, observability, and post-processing, supporting robust scientific computing and efficient software integration within the repository.
August 2025: Delivered stability and observability improvements to the Lethe CFD-DEM workflow (chaos-polymtl/lethe). Key bug fix resolved a segmentation fault in multi-core simulations by ensuring correct particle sorting after insertion. Implemented MPI-parallel collision statistics logging to synchronize writes across processes and capture particle diameter, mass, and time, improving data integrity and traceability. These changes enhance reliability, scalability, and post-run analysis, delivering business value through reduced crashes, faster debugging, and richer simulation metrics. Technologies demonstrated include MPI synchronization, parallel logging, and particle management within a multi-core CFD-DEM context.
