OpenFOAM | Open Source Computational Fluid Dynamics
OpenFOAM has gained considerable credibility in recent years through verification and validation studies performed by a growing user base. An increasing number of universities and corporations are also using OF, both independently and in conjunction with other commercial codes. Skimming the agendas of previous OF User Conferences one sees that companies such as Mercedes Benz, BASF, BMW, Volkswagen, and Intel are among those with a presence. This is not surprising, as it is such large companies with inherently large simulation workloads that stand to benefit the most from freeware.

PyFR is an open-source Python based framework for solving advection-diffusion type problems on streaming architectures using the Flux Reconstruction approach of Huynh. The framework is designed to solve a range of governing systems on mixed unstructured grids containing various element types. It is also designed to target a range of hardware platforms via use of an in-built domain specific language derived from the Mako templating engine.
