AutoFOAM is a self-refining agent targeting OpenFOAM configuration files, the setup step that makes open-source computational fluid dynamics hard to use. CFD is exactly the shape this thesis specifies — an existing solver supplies the correctness signal, and the displaced work is expert configuration hours rather than judgement.
