What is Open Foam?

OpenFOAM (Open Field Operation and Manipulation) is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package. It's used for simulating fluid flows and heat transfer in various engineering applications, such as aerodynamics, combustion, multiphase flows, and chemical reactions. Users can customize it by creating their own solvers, boundary conditions, and turbulence models.
