DAFoam v5 has been released!

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We have released a major upgrade for DAFoam v5, which resolves the long-standing issue of relying on an outdated OpenFOAM version and introduces new capabilities to better support agentic AI workflows.

Check here for more details.

New DAFoam AI agents for conversational design workflow have been released!

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Airfoil and wing aerodynamic design optimizations have never been easier!

We have recently released a new AI agent that enables conversational analysis, design, and optimization of airfoils and wings.

The entire design workflow, including geometry generation, meshing, simulations/optimizations, and post-processing, is tightly integrated with an large language model (LLM).

Users can directly translate the design intent to high-quality design outcomes through natural language inputs. Check out the details from here.

DAFoam v4.0.3 has been released!

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

We have released a new DAFoam version v4.0.3.

This update fixed bugs and added a few new features such as topology optimization with conjugate heat transfer, unsteady field inversion machine learning with dynamic meshes, and a density-based solver (DAHisaFoam) for high-speed flows.

Check here for more details.

Have 30 minutes? Meet with us to share your DAFoam feedback!

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

We are launching a feedback campaign to better understand the experiences of DAFoam users.

Your input on what works well and what could be improved will directly help us improve the DAFoam ecosystem.

If you are interested in sharing your thoughts in a 30-minute Zoom meeting, please email me (Ping He, phe@iastate.edu) to arrange a time.

Your feedback is very important for us, and we greatly appreciate your support in shaping the future of DAFoam.
