What is OpenFOAM?
OpenFOAM (Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation) is a free, open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package. It's used for solving a wide range of engineering problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, chemical reactions, acoustics, electromagnetics, and solid mechanics. Common uses include simulating aerodynamics around vehicles, analyzing combustion in engines, modeling heat exchangers, and studying multiphase flows.
