OpenFOAM

OpenFOAM is the leading free, open source software for CFD, owned by the OpenFOAM Foundation and distributed exclusively under the General Public Licence (GPL). The GPL gives users the freedom to modify and redistribute the software and a guarantee of continued free use, within the terms of the licence. OpenFOAM was created by Henry Weller in 1989 under the name “FOAM” and was released open source as “OpenFOAM” by Henry Weller, Chris Greenshields and Mattijs Janssens in December 2004.

• 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). Guest • 9 days ago Disagree   Agree

elmer

Elmer is an open source multiphysical simulation software mainly developed by CSC - IT Center for Science (CSC). Elmer development was started 1995 in collaboration with Finnish Universities, research institutes and industry. After it's open source publication in 2005, the use and development of Elmer has become international. Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer and acoustics, for example.

FEATFLOW

FeatFlow (Finite Element Analysis Toolbox for Flow) is a finite element CFD Fortran code using a very efficient FEM discretization together with a geometric multigrid approach for solving linear systems. This results in a very fast and computationally efficient solver, typically yielding a magnitude or more of speedup compared commercially available solvers. FeatFlow can be used from MATLAB with the FEATool Multiphysics GUI interface.

SU2

Open-source collection of software tools for performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and design. Computational analysis tools have revolutionized the way we design aerospace systems, but most established codes are proprietary, unavailable, or prohibitively expensive for many users. The SU2 team is changing this, making computational analysis and design freely available as open-source software and involving everyone in its creation and development.
