Kratos Multiphysics - FE solver for: CFD, FSI, Particle, Thermal (free/ open source)

Open Source, Parallel, Multi-physics, CFD, Thermal problems, Structural dynamics, Flexibility, Particle Problems, Linear Solvers Libraries
Kratos is designed as an Open-Source framework for the implementation of numerical methods for the solution of engineering problems. It is written in C++ and is designed to allow collaborative development by large teams of researchers focusing on modularity as well as on performance. The Kratos features a "core" and "applications" approach where "standard tools" (databases, linear algebra, search structures, etc...) come as a part of the core and are available as building blocks in the development of "applications" which focus on the solution of the problems of interest. Its ultimate goal is to simplify the development of new numerical methods.

OpenFVM: CFD solvers (free/opensource)

OpenFVM
http://openfvm.sourceforge.net/

OpenFVM is a general CFD solver released under the GPL license. It was developed to simulate the flow in complex 3D geometries. Therefore, the mesh can be unstructured and contain control volumes with arbitrary shape. The code uses the finite volume method to evaluate the partial differential equations. As well as solving the velocity and pressure fields, the code is capable of solving non-isothermal multiphase flow.

The code has two implementations: serial and parallel. The serial version uses LASPACK as the linear matrix solver and the parallel one uses the PETSc library. Both implementations use the open source tool Gmsh for pre- and post-processing.

FEATFLOW: high performance finite elements - both FEA, CFD (free, open source)

The free finite elements solvers for both solid and fluid mechanics


http://www.featflow.de/en/software.html

• FEATxD, FEATFLOW
• DeViSoR Grid, our preferred coarse grid editor
• Postprocessing and visualization tools
• parPP3D++ parallel C++ version of PP3D

 The software package FEATFLOW

The progam package FEATFLOW is both a user oriented as well as a general purpose subroutine system for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in two and three space dimensions. It is based on the packages FEAT2D and FEAT3D.

FEATFLOW is designed for the following three classes of applications:

• Education of students
• Scientific research
• Industrial applications

An overview of the functionality and the mathematical background of FEATFLOW can be found in our FEATFLOW manual. For a "colorful" demonstration of many flow examples and MPEG movies, have a look at our Virtual Album of Fluid Motion.

enGrid: Open-Source mesh generation/ Pre-Processing

enGrid is an open-source mesh generation software with CFD applications in mind. enGrid uses an in-house development for surface meshing and prismatic boundary layers; a module for hex far-fields will be added in the next release. Tetrahedral parts of the mesh are created by calling the Netgen library. Internally, enGrid uses the VTK data structures as well as the *.vtu file format.
Currently enGrid has interfaces to Blender [3], Gmsh, STL, and a few other file formats. Gmsh can be used to import STEP and IGES files and it can also be used for simple geometry modeling.
Since the 1.2 release, enGrid provides native export to OpenFOAM® and since 1.4 for SU2. This includes export capabilities for complete OpenFOAM cases (including boundary conditions), as well as support for polyhedral cells. enGrid is released under the GPL and we hope that it is a useful addition to the open-source CFD community.

COMSOL: multiphysics

You can model and simulate any physics-based system using COMSOL^®. COMSOL Multiphysics^® includes the COMSOL Desktop^® graphical user interface (GUI) and a set of predefined user interfaces with associated modeling tools, referred to as physics interfaces, for modeling common applications. A suite of add-on products expands this multiphysics simulation platform for modeling specific application areas as well as interfacing to third-party software and their capabilities. COMSOL Multiphysics is required to run any of the add-on products.
The physics-based modules augment the core physics interfaces of COMSOL Multiphysics and provide additional physics interfaces for electrical, mechanical, fluid flow, and chemical applications. Any number of modules can be seamlessly combined to handle challenging multiphysics applications.
The fully-integrated environment allows for a unified modeling workflow irrespective of the simulation task. The multipurpose add-on products enable optimization and particle tracing, and grant access to a large library of material properties. COMSOL integrates seamlessly with third-party software, such as industry-standard CAD software, through the interfacing add-on products.

VISIT: free software for ploting, visualization your computation result, post-processing

VISIT (free)
https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/home.html

VisIt is a free interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool for viewing scientific data on Unix and PC platforms. Users can quickly generate visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate them, and save the resulting images for presentations. VisIt contains a rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in a variety of ways. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and unstructured meshes. VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the terascale range and yet can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range. See the table below for more details about the tool’s features.

History

VisIt was developed by the Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Simulation and Computing Initiative (ASCI) to visualize and analyze the results of terascale simulations. It was developed as a framework for adding custom capabilities and rapidly deploying new visualization technologies. After an initial prototype effort, work on VisIt began in the summer of 2000, and the initial version of VisIt was released in the fall of 2002. Although the primary driving force behind the development of VisIt was for visualizing terascale data, it is also well suited for visualizing data from typical simulations on desktop systems. Because of its applicability beyond visualizing terascale data, we are making VisIt freely available.

Gnuplot: free software for plotting, visualization

Gnuplot 
(alternative some plotting utilies of Matlab, Excel, plot figures for your paper)
is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for Linux, OS/2, MS Windows, OSX, VMS, and many other platforms. The source code is copyrighted but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses such as web scripting. It is also used as a plotting engine by third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under active development since 1986.

GNU Octave: opensource numerical computations

GNU Octave is a high-level interpreted language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. It also provides extensive graphics capabilities for data visualization and manipulation. Octave is normally used through its interactive command line interface, but it can also be used to write non-interactive programs. The Octave language is quite similar to Matlab so that most programs are easily portable.
