-DeepFlame is a deep learning empowered computational fluid dynamics package for single or multiphase, laminar or turbulent, reacting flows at all speeds. It aims to provide an open-source platform to combine the individual strengths of [OpenFOAM](https://openfoam.org), [Cantera](https://cantera.org), and [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) libraries for deep learning assisted reacting flow simulations. It also has the scope to leverage the next-generation heterogenous supercomputing and AI acceleration infrastructures such as GPU and FPGA.

To train DNN models for your specific problem, please use the [DFODE-kit](https://github.com/deepflame-ai/DFODE-kit) package developed by the DeepFlame team.
## Documentation
Detailed guide for installation and tutorials is available on [our documentation website](https://deepflame.deepmodeling.com).
## Features
+New in v2.0 (2026/1/28):
+- Introduce Agent-driven Combustion Scientific Computing as a new research paradigm, extending DeepFlame from pure acceleration to workflow-level automation for CombustionCFD
+- Develope [FlamePilot](./agents/FlamePilot.md), a CFD simulation agent for combustion case setup, runtime diagnosis, and iterative optimization via natural language interaction
+- Introduce [DFODE-kit](https://github.com/deepflame-ai/DFODE-kit), a deep learning package for accelerating stiff, high-dimensional chemical kinetics ODEs
+- Develope [DFODE-Kit Trainer](./agents/DFODE-kit-Trainer.md), an agent-driven workflow for training combustion-chemistry neural-networks
+- Improve initialization in `dfChemistryModel`
+- Fix bug in `df0DFoam`
+- Fix bug in LES `SIGMA` sgs model
+- Add support for the localBlended scheme
+- Change build-test actions to self-hosted runner
+
New in v1.6 (2025/5/30):
- Add a new solver, dfSteadyFoam, a steady-state compressible flow solver. It supports turbulence and uses the SIMPLE algorithm to efficiently compute steady solutions
- Extend energy model to support sensible enthalpy (hs) in addition to absolute enthalpy (ha) and internal energy (ea). Furthermore, T, h and cp can now be computed independently of Cantera, improving flexibility and removing external dependencies. `CANTERA_THERMO` is added in bashrc to control method to calculate h, cp and update T. `CANTERA_THERMO=1`(current default) means using Cantera and `CANTERA_THERMO=0` means using deepflame.

+DFODE-kit Trainer
+=================
+DFODE-kit Trainer is a specialized agent designed to facilitate the training of models using the DFODE-kit framework. This agent streamlines the process of setting up, executing, and monitoring training sessions for differential equation-based models. User can interact with the agent through natural language commands to configure the target case settings that the model will apply. The agent can recognize the requirements and automatically complete the data sampling, data enhancement and model training processes. Finally, it returns to the user a directly usable model and a clear task report.
+
+To try DFODE-kit Trainer, visit [DFODE-kit agent tutorial](https://github.com/deepflame-ai/DFODE-kit/blob/agent/agent_user_guide_zh.md) for more details.

+FlamePilot
+==========
+
+
+

+
+
+FlamePilot is an **agentic runner for combustion CFD workflows**, designed to automate and assist simulations within the DeepFlame ecosystem. It provides a **CLI-first, tool-aware agent** that translates natural language instructions into executable CFD actions, covering case setup, solver configuration, execution, diagnostics, and iteration.
+
+FlamePilot emphasizes **executability and traceability**: it helps you go from intent → runnable case, while keeping workflows inspectable and compatible with research-grade CFD practices.
+
+To try FlamePilot, visit the project repository.
