MFC Homebrew Tap

Official Homebrew tap for MFC (Multiphase Flow Code) – an exascale multiphase/multiphysics compressible flow solver.

Installation

brew install mflowcode/mfc/mfc

Quick Start

Run the 1D Sod shock tube example:

mkdir -p ~/mfc_example && cd ~/mfc_example
cp $(brew --prefix mfc)/examples/1D_sodshocktube/case.py .
mfc case.py -n 2

What's Included

• Prebuilt binaries: pre_process, simulation, post_process
• Python toolchain: Pre-configured virtual environment with all dependencies
• Examples: Located at $(brew --prefix mfc)/examples/
• mfc wrapper: Simplified command-line interface for running cases

Usage

mfc <case.py> -n <processes>

Use -n X to set the number of MPI processes.

Note: The Homebrew wrapper supports only running cases. For developer commands (build, test, clean, etc.), clone the repository and use ./mfc.sh.
