From Punch Cards to the AI Age: How Modern Tools Breathed New Life into a 1972 FORTRAN Code for Curved Pipe Flow
Decades-old scientific code rarely survives the march of technology — but what if it didn't have to stay buried? This paper documents a compelling act of numerical archaeology, using modern AI tools to resurrect a 1972 FORTRAN 66 program and unlock enduring insights into laminar fluid flow.
