OpenFOAM

OpenFOAM is a software environment for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and related computations.

OpenFOAM provides a C++ library and tools for setting up, meshing, solving, computing properties, and post-processing continuum mechanics, especially computational fluid dynamics. OpenFOAM includes solvers for a number of applications and provides an environment in which users can build their own.
