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

 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.
