OpenFOAM Tutorial in PDF Download



OpenFOAM is a free, open source CFD software package developed by OpenCFD Ltd. It 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. It includes tools for meshing, notably snappyHexMesh, a parallelised mesher for complex CAD geometries, and for pre- and post-processing.

The best thing is OpenFORM is free to download and use - you may also download its source code in C plus plus to customize it for your Organization.

Some of the solver capabilities of openFOAM are as lsted below

Solver for Incompressible flows
Solver for Multiphase flows
Solver for Combustion
Solver for Buoyancy-driven flows
Solver for Conjugate heat transfer
Solver for Compressible flows
Solver for Particle methods (DEM, DSMC, MD)

And the technology used in OpenFOAM

Numerical method
Linear system solvers
ODE system solvers
Parallel computing
Dynamic mesh

This software is well suited for beginners in CFD  - Computational Fluid Dynamics as well as developers.

Best Free CAD Modeling and Rendering Softwares

Best Free CAD Modeling and rendering Softwares


1. FreeCAD  

FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler, In Parametric Modeling, Features are defined to be parametric shapes associated with attributes such as intrinsic geometric parameters (length, width, depth etc.), position and orientation, geometric tolerances, material properties, and references to other features

You may download the latest version of freeCAD from 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/files/latest/download

FreeCAD is based on OpenCasCade, a powerful geometry kernel, features an Open Inventor-compliant
3D scene representation model provided by the Coin 3D library, and a broad Python API.

If you are interested to contribute to the FreeCAD , you may download the source code from

http://sourceforge.net/p/free-cad/code/ci/master/tree/


2. Blender

Blender is an open source project licensed under the GNU GPL. All code is written in C, C++ and Python

Some of main features of free software blender are given below

1. Photorealistic Rendering - HDR lighting support
2. Fast Modeling - Keyboard shortcuts for a fast workflow
3. Realistic Materials - Open Shading Language (OSL) support
4. Fast Rigging - Envelope, skeleton and automatic skinning
