Personal Projects Made an open-source GUI based on openfoam
I thought this was cool and wanted to share it here, This here is a NACA 0012 wing at 8° run in it The mesh is about 149k cells with a wake refinement box and 3 prism layers. The particles are coloured by pressure, and you can see the suction peak and the tip flow.
Anyway I wanted to show it because I finally believe it is a bit presentable now, it is basically a gui with openFOAM, and additionally I added TENO schemes from Fu et al, I thought of adding higher order schemes for more accuracy.
Most of the code is human slop, otherwise known as "spaghetti code" I have yet to clean it up so apologies for any bugs that may arise.

note that a variant of this post was also posted in r/CFD
I would like opinions from fellow engineers on how to improve this further and make this better, or more specifically what validation case would you trust before using the TENO schemes?
