ChannelFlow-Tools is an open‑source, configuration‑driven pipeline that generates machine‑learning‑ready datasets for three‑dimensional obstructed channel flows. It combines procedural obstacle geometry generation across six shape families, signed‑distance‑field voxelisation, lattice‑Boltzmann simulation, and packaging into ML‑ready tensors, all driven by reproducible configuration files. The pipeline is validated through mesh‑integrity audits, SDF representation checks, solver benchmarks, and data‑integrity audits, and it has been used to train surrogate models (3D U‑Net, FNO, U‑FNO) that learn geometry‑to‑flow mappings and exhibit physically interpretable behaviour on out‑of‑distribution splits.
