As part of its mission to promote open science and support research on material degradation in porous media, the H2IOSC project is proud to announce the release of StoneVerse, a new open-source simulation platform developed by the Institute for Applied Computing “M. Picone” of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR IAC).
StoneVerse offers a user-friendly environment for running numerical simulations based on well-established models for capillary rise phenomena.
Key Features
Open Science Infrastructure. StoneVerse was designed to facilitate the exchange of experimental data and mathematical algorithms that describe degradation processes linked to capillary action in porous materials.
Simple Simulation Workflow. Users can launch simulations by preparing three input files:
- Experimental data
- Environmental conditions
- Model parameters
The platform automatically computes imbibition curves and moisture profiles for the given configuration.
Built-In Optimization Tools: StoneVerse also allows users to perform parameter estimation using numerical optimization techniques to best fit experimental observations.
Integrated with DataVerse: The platform is connected to a dedicated instance of DataVerse, a trusted framework for academic data sharing. It currently hosts information about the available simulation models, and will soon expand to include experimental datasets and simulation results contributed by the community.
How to Access
Researchers and practitioners can request access by emailing stoneverse@iac.cnr.it
StoneVerse is part of H2IOSC’s broader effort to build accessible digital tools and infrastructure supporting interdisciplinary research at the interface of materials science, environmental physics, and computational modeling.
