Comments about OpenFOAM as a Alternative to ANSYS Fluent
Almost everyone thinks OpenFOAM is a great ANSYS Fluent alternative.

most powerful alternative but unfortunately it has a steep learning curve and is time consuming to work with even after learning. it will be the best if it has a graphical user interface (GUI).

It is a service based on OpenFOAM and CalculiX, that are considered good alternatives, and it has free-of-charge usage option (with limitations).
