What are OpenFOAM & CFD?

Get to know the powerful free CFD toolkit and its core science.

About OpenFOAM

OpenFOAM (Open Field Operation And Manipulation) is the industry-leading open-source software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), used worldwide for simulating fluid flow, turbulence, heat transfer, and much more.

OpenFOAM is highly extensible, runs efficiently on HPC clusters, and supports a wide range of physics and engineering applications. Visit the official project page or the CFD Direct FAQ to learn more.

About CFD

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. CFD is essential in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and many other engineering fields.
