Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I want to find how variables(like pitch, yaw, roll angle, speed, etc) change in different dynamic modes (spiral, dutch roll, roll damping) wrt time. How do I do this in MATLAB? Would appreciate any pointers.
It's not MATLAB, but I know there is Ptera Software in Python that aims to do something approximately similar with flapping wings. It's going for a more advanced simulation, though.

I just published the first validated version of Ptera Software, my open-source, unsteady aerodynamics simulator for flapping wings! If you know Python and would like to contribute, check out the to-do list on the README. If not, I'd still appreciate your feedback! You can find the project on GitHub.
Here's a link to the project on GitHub!

A few months ago, I posted Ptera Software, my open-source flapping wing simulator. You asked me to validate it, so I did! Kudos to UMich for the experimental data that made this possible. Download the validation report and software from GitHub! As before, I'd love any feedback or collaboration.
Oh cool! What's the title of your book? The repo can be found here.

Directly create animation from a bunch of timestep (.vtk) files using python
OP I am so glad you asked this because more people need to know how to do this. Please do yourself a favor and check out fluidfoam. It will change your life. I was trying to do a very similar thing to what you're doing and spent months looking into things like pvpython, pyvista, etc. None of them are even close to as easy as fluidfoam. What you will have to do is go and look at the example files they give. Those probably won't work right away but they are quite easy to debug and adapt.

Does Julia have any libraries for reading out fields from OpenFOAM?
I found a really nice library for doing this in Python called FluidFoam and have implemented its functions. I want to do this faster however, because I want to make lots of animations and I don't like waiting several hours to compile all of the frames for a single animation. I heard Julia is much faster than Python and I have been meaning to learn it for some time now. Maybe I can use this as an opportunity to learn it whilst speeding up something in my research. If such a package exists for Julia or you have any other thoughts about what I can do, please let me know!
