Study – State of Practice of Lattice Boltzmann Software

[petermic...@gmail.com]

Hello Sailfish team,

I am a graduate student with a research group at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. I am contacting you with an invitation to participate in a research study, which I am completing as a requirement of the Master of Engineering degree.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a current state of practice analysis of software in a scientific computing domain for the purpose of understanding quality and assisting in the future development of such software. One of the domains is Lattice Boltzmann Solvers.

We have selected Sailfish to be part of a list of (30) Lattice Boltzmann packages that we have identified for analysis. These packages were selected because they are open source and fit our desired scope, usage, and age criteria.

Participation in this study will involve a one-to-one semi-structured interview between a member of our research group and a lead developer of Sailfish.

If you would like more information to better consider participating in the study please contact me at mic...@mcmaster.ca
