An Overview of OpenFOAM CFD Software
Апстракт
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is nowadays a vital part of engineering practice and research in fluid mechanics.
Application areas of CFD are vast - from fluid flows in various engineering devices, to flow of air in Earth atmosphere to
flow of blood in human vessels. These are all very complex phenomena, but with adequate modeling and afterwards
numerical solving, they can be predicted with appropriate accuracy. There are a lot of softwares specially designed for
solving problems in fluid dynamics. Most of them are commercial ones, licensed with very expensive price and from the
viewpoint of user, it is impossible to fully access and modify the numerical codes. The open source CFD is one of the
solutions to overcome these obstacles. One of the open-source CFD softwares is OpenFOAM. In this paper a brief overview
of it s usage and capabilities are presented. Essentially, OpenFOAM is large C++ library from which users can use
precompiled applications and utilities, or... they can use the library to create their own applications and utilities. The code for
creation libraries and utilities is open.
