What is OpenFOAM?

OpenFOAM is a free, open source CFD software package developed by ESI-OpenCFD and other participants in the global OpenFOAM community. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organizations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.

By being open, OpenFOAM offers users complete freedom to customise and extend its existing functionality, either by themselves or through support from ESI-OpenCFD.
