It can be run as a simple Fourier heat transfer code or include more advanced features as internal decomposition (pyrolysis, vaporization), gas-gas and gas-solid chemical interactions (combustion, cracking, coking), gas species transport (convection, diffusion), and solid morphology evolutions (internal density changes, surface ablation). PATO is implemented as a C++ top level module of the open source (GNU GPL) computational fluid dynamics software program OpenFOAM. PATO also uses the open source (GNU LGPL) thermodynamics, transport, and chemistry library Mutation++ produced by the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-279\" src=\"https:\/\/pato.ac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PATO_architecture-overview-300x138.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pato.ac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PATO_architecture-overview-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/pato.ac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PATO_architecture-overview-768x353.png 768w, https:\/\/pato.ac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PATO_architecture-overview-1024x471.png 1024w, https:\/\/pato.ac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PATO_architecture-overview-650x300.png 650w, https:\/\/pato.ac\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PATO_architecture-overview.png 1414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tutorials are provided for different types of geometries (1D, 2D, 2D-axi, 3D), boundary conditions (imposed temperature and pressure, convective boundary layer, coupled to external flow) and materials (metals, composites, wood).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">PATO is distributed Open Source by NASA.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/software.nasa.gov\/software\/ARC-16680-1A\">https:\/\/software.nasa.gov\/software\/ARC-16680-1A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The goal of this website is to guide users and serve as a community hub.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Porous material Analysis Toolbox (PATO) is a modular analysis platform for multiphase porous reactive materials.
