## What is Argent Flux?

**Argent Flux** is a **multi-physics simulation program** built to explore how physical and intelligent systems interact — from heat transfer and fluid motion to machine-learning-driven control.  
It is developed under the **Argent Letters** brand, where each Greek letter represents a distinct line of products, ideas, and experiments.

**Flux** aims to be a **unified foundation**:  
a framework capable of simulating and learning from any system that can be described by equations, data, or both.

## What it Can Do

**Flux** solves the equations that describe how things change — temperature, velocity, concentration, or any other field that evolves in space and time.  
It supports **1D, 2D, and 3D domains**, and is being designed to model:

- **Heat transfer** in electrical and mechanical systems  
- **Fluid and turbulence** dynamics with machine-learning-aided closure models  
- **Control and decision** systems, such as drones or robotic agents acting within simulated environments  
- **Data-driven hybrid** problems where experimental or AI models interact with physical laws

## Why Build It

The project grew from the collaboration between engineers and researchers with backgrounds in **power systems**, **fluids**, and **data-driven modeling**.  
The goal is not to reinvent existing solvers, but to **merge classical physics with modern computation** to give engineers and scientists a single tool that can model, experiment, and learn.

Flux is written in **modern C++**, using:
- **OpenMP** and **MPI** for parallel and cluster execution  
- Planned **GPU acceleration** for large-scale problems  
- A design philosophy focused on **clarity, reproducibility, and extendibility**

Ultimately, we want Flux to scale from a laptop test run to a full **HPC cluster**, making high-fidelity simulation and machine learning accessible in the same environment.

## Vision

> *To create an open, extensible simulation program that unifies the language of physics, data, and computation.*

Flux is meant to evolve beyond fluids:
- from **drone dynamics** in atmospheric conditions,  
- to **heat management** in power electronics,  
- to **data-assisted turbulence** research,  
- and even **multiphysics coupling** for renewable systems.

Each new feature or solver is a step toward that larger goal, a living laboratory where equations and intelligence coexist.

## The Argent Letters Philosophy

**Argent Letters** is more than a collection of tools — it’s a philosophy of how science and engineering should be done.  
We believe that research, computation, and design should remain **transparent, reproducible, and accessible**.  

Argent Flux is our first step in building that vision: an **open, self-directed platform** for simulation and discovery.  
By developing it in-house and keeping it open, we ensure that our priorities stay aligned with **curiosity, rigor, and integrity**, not with commercial or institutional pressures.

In an era where the *publish-or-perish* mentality often rewards speed over substance, we aim to slow down and **do good science**:  
to document clearly, validate thoroughly, and make every idea reusable.  
Argent Letters exists to give us, and others who share that mindset, a place to build lasting, transparent work that isn’t owned, rented, or constrained by larger systems.

> *Flux* represents flow: of energy, matter, and knowledge.

## Contributing & Collaboration

Flux is currently in active development and evolving quickly.  
We welcome contributions in numerical methods, ML integration, and cluster performance.  
If you’re interested in collaborating on solver development or domain-specific extensions, feel free to reach out once the public guidelines are released.
