What is it?

OpenFOAM is the free alternative to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and is recently owned by the OpenFOAM Foundation and distributed exclusively under the General Public Licence (GPL).

OpenFOAM was created by Henry Weller in 1989 under the name “FOAM” and was released open source as “OpenFOAM” by Henry Weller, Chris Greenshields, and Mattijs Janssens in December 2004. Since then, OpenFOAM has continued to be managed and developed with new versions being released to the public each year.

The current version is 10. In 2014, the development line of OpenFOAM, known as “OpenFOAM-dev” was released publicly on GitHub.

What it does?

If you want to do CFD, learning OpenFOAM is worth it.

This software can be divided only.

• Prototype – building a representative solution, from a template, rapidly (timely manner).

• Production – refining the solution through an iterative design process, making small changes, and testing frequently (confidence).

• Packaging – making the solution reliable, cost-effective and easy to use again and again (repeatedly, defined standard).
