Alternatve to FLUENT http://cfd.fossee.in OpenFOAM: Open Source Field Oper- aton And Manipulaton, is a free and Open Source CFD (Computatonal Fluid Dynamics) sofware package promoted by the ESI Group. The De- velopment of OpenFOAM, started in late 1999 by Dr. Hrvoje Jasak and Henry Weller in Imperial College of Engineering, with a vision to create a C++ based CFD solver for future research purposes. OpenFOAM is a collecton of C++ libraries which can be used to create executable applicatons which fall under two categories: Solvers and Utlites. Solvers, which are used to solve the contnuum mechanics prob- lems, and Utlites, which perform the task of data manipulaton. The syntax of the solver applicaton in OpenFOAM, is similar to that used in writng a Partal Dierental Equaton. Advantages of using OpenFOAM Free and Open Source Released under GPL Flexible: User can change the code according to his requirements Supports OpenMPI Contains vast number of Solvers Able to import data from other meshing sofware Results can be exported to dierent post-processing data formats National Mission on Education through ICT (www.sakshat.ac.in) A snippet of the OpenFOAM code: Navier-Stokes equaton: Writng the equaton in OpenFOAM: solve { fvm ::ddt (rho, U) +fvm :: div (rho, U) -fvm :: laplacian(nu, U) == - fvc::grad (p) }; Drop Splashing Flow Over 3-D Blu Body SELF Workshops Enroll with us to become a Workshop Organiser, and help conduct OpenFOAM and other FOSS workshops like Linux, Scilab, Python, PHP-MySQL, Java, C, and many others, in your college and neigh- bouring colleges. You can also help con- duct these workshops at the organisaton that you work in. About FOSSEE FOSSEE (Free and Open Source Sofware for Educaton) project is part of the Na- tonal Mission on Educaton through ICT (NMEICT) with the thrust area being Ad- aptaton and deployment of Open Source simulaton packages equivalent to propri- etary sofware, funded by MHRD, based at the Indian Insttute of Technology Bombay (IITB). Textbook Companion OpenFOAM textbook companion is one of the major actvites supported by the CFD team at FOSSEE, IIT Bombay. This work involves generatng an online collecton of OpenFOAM cas- es/solvers for worked out examples and select exercise problems from standard textbooks.
