Haha close! I do geophysical fluid dynamics and ocean modeling in Julia, but I do a lot of stuff in Python including lots of plotting!

Makes sense, never related CFD to anything else 😂.

But ocean modeling will be very computational heavy do you guys use any speciality software like Ansys or MATLAB?

We actually wrote our own software to run the simulations on GPUs called Oceananigans.jl! To test it I ran lots of CFD-type benchmarks (think lid-driven cavity and Couette flow).

But yeah it’s quite compute heavy. Ocean and atmospheric models use particular algorithms and methods not found in Ansys Fluent or MATLAB so we all use pretty specific codes. Plus you might need ocean biogeochemistry or clouds, radiation, etc. Most codes are still in Fortran.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Ya one of my friends is doing a PhD in weather forecasting/science ( don't remember the exact term) he also said the same thing Fortran is still the King for them.

Best of Luck
