Flowsquare VS OpenFOAM

Other answers are good, and for the messing around part, maybe checkout Flowsquare (the 2d Version) to start with. Source: almost 2 years ago

As you can probably tell, I’m lacking the key terms needed for a useful Google search, so haven’t had much luck yet - any pointers/tips greatly appreciated. Something that’s straightforward to implement with little learning curve is ideal. This iOS app is the best I’ve found so far, though I’d also like ways of defining the shape & extracting velocities. Flowsquare also looks promising for what I had in mind,... Source: about 2 years ago

In openfoam.org, there is not compiled binaries for Debian (any version). So one should install it using docker (I prefer to do not use it) or by compiling the code from the source. I consider compiling from source, but I do prefer binaries. Source: 10 months ago

Hello I am a mechanical engineering student in my last year. So I made the wisest decision to learn OpenFOAM. But there is the catch. I have no idea how to use Linux or how to emulate Linux on Windows 10. I found a lot of videos on Youtube how to download an start OpenFOAM but every one of them was using different methods each time so I got confused. Can anyone please help or direct me? Thank you for your answers... Source: about 1 year ago

As far as air flow simulation, I got slightly farther with Open Foam than I did in FreeCAD directly. Still, I got in way over my skill level and stopped before getting anything useful. Source: about 1 year ago

There are two versions of openfoam, one closed source (which is the one I linked to in my original comment, my apologies about that) and the open source version. But what you're describing makes it sound like fenics might be your best option. Source: over 1 year ago

I suggest you install per the instructions at openfoam.com or openfoam.org instead of using apt. Source: over 1 year ago
