Description

OpenFOAM is an open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package developed by OpenCFD Ltd for simulating flows with complex physics and geometry. It is used for solving a wide range of engineering and scientific problems, including fluid flow, heat transfer, combustion, and chemical reactions. OpenFOAM is designed to be used in an object-oriented fashion, allowing users to modify existing solvers or to create their own using the library of existing solvers. It also provides a set of tools for meshing, grid generation, post-processing, and visualization. OpenFOAM is available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms, and can be downloaded for free from the OpenFOAM website.
