Scientific Computation

Mango-Selm Package : Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulations and Fluctuating Hydrodynamics for LAMMPS (USER-SELM), Stochastic Immersed Boundary Methods / SELMs

Package for performing fluid-structure interaction simulations. Integrated with LAMMPS, an optimized molecular dynamics package for modeling mechanical systems and provides many types of interaction force laws, model types, and statistical analysis tools. The package was motivated by implicit-solvent coarse-grained simulations in molecular dynamics, and for more general problems involving fluid-structure interactions subject to thermal fluctuations. The package allows for handling fluid-structure interactions using stochastic continuum fluid equations. Deterministic simulations are also possible by setting temperature parameter to zero in models.

Python and Jupyter notebook interfaces are also now available.

Machine Learning

GD-VAEs : Geometric Dynamic Variational Autoencoders

Geometric Dynamic Variational Autoencoders (GD-VAE) package provides machine learning methods for learning embedding maps for nonlinear dynamics into general latent spaces. This includes methods for standard latent spaces or manifold latent spaces with specified geometry and topology. The manifold latent spaces can be based on analytic expressions or general point cloud representations.
