1. ANSYS CFX
ANSYS CFX software is applied to solve wide-ranging fluid flow problems for
over 20 years. It is the foundation for an abundant choice of physical models that
capture virtually any type of phenomena related to fluid flow. The solver and models
are wrapped in a modern, intuitive, and flexible GUI and user environment, with
extensive capabilities for customization and automation using session files, scripting
and a powerful expression language
ANSYS CFX provides complete mesh flexibility, including the ability to solve
flow problems using unstructured meshes that can be generated about complex
geometries with ease. Supported mesh types include triangular, quadrilateral,
tetrahedral, hexahedral, pyramid, and prism (wedge). ANSYS Workbench allows us to
import our CAD geometry, prepare it for CFD use in ANSYS Design Modeler and
mesh it automatically or manually with the ANSYS Mesh component whether
simulating combustion design in gas turbines, automotive engines, or coal-fired
furnaces or assessing fire safety in and around buildings and other structures, ANSYS
CFX software provides a rich framework to model chemical reactions and combustion
associated with fluid flow.
2. AUTODESK CFD
Autodesk CFD software provides flexible fluid flow and thermal simulation
tools with improved reliability and performance. This software provides computational
fluid dynamics and thermal simulation tools to help us to predict product performance,
optimize designs, and validate product behavior before manufacturing. Autodesk CFD
is available in 2 levels i.e. CFD Premium and CFD Ultimate. The CFD Design Study
Environment is included in both solvers. CFD Premium provides complex solving for
fluid flow and thermal simulation while CFD Ultimate provides advanced solid body
motion simulation in addition to fluid flow. Main features are;
4. OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM"Open source Field Operation and Manipulation" is the free, open
source CFD software released and developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004.
It is a C++ toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers, and pre-
/post-processing utilities for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, including
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It has a large user base across most areas of
engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organizations.

Gerris belongs to the finite volumes family of CFD models. Gerris solves the
Navier–Stokes equations in 2 or 3 dimensions, allowing to model industrial fluids
(aerodynamics, internal flows, etc.) or for instance, the mechanics of droplets, thanks
to an accurate formulation of multiphase flows (including surface tension). Actually,
the latter field of study is the reason why the software shares the same name as the
insect genus. On the contrary Gerris does not allow (in its current status) the modeling
of compressible fluids (supersonic flows).

The configuration file is a text file that contains a user’s options for a particular
problem to be solved with the SU2 suite. It is specified as an input upon execution of
SU2 components. SU2 mainly uses a native mesh file format as input into the various
suite components. Limited support for the CGNS data format has also been included as
an input mesh format. CGNS support can be useful when it is necessary to create
complex geometries in a third-party mesh generation package that can export CGNS
files. A converter from CGNS to the native format is also built into SU2.
7. Open FVM
OpenFVM is a general open source three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) solver for Linux and Windows. It uses the unstructured finite volume method to
simulate non-isothermal transient flow. Gmsh is used for pre- and post- processing.
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 can run in parallel mode using PETSc. One object is to tackle fluid
structure dynamics. The code is small and simple to understand.
OpenFVM is a free software application from the other subcategory, part of the
Education category. The app is currently available in English and it was last updated
on 2011-04-02. The program can be installed on All 32-bit MS Windows
(95/98/NT/2000/XP) All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes).
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.
OpenFVM is concerned with maily following fields;
Multiphase flow with high density and viscosity ratios,
Non-newtonian flow,
Compressible flow,
Turbulence modelling,
Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR),
Mesh movement,
Parallel processing (using PETSc),
Graphical user interface for pre-processing (automatic generation of *.bnd,
*.mtl, *.par files) and Packaging (Windows installers, Linux packages).
8. Code Saturne
Code_Saturne is a general-purpose computational fluid dynamics free computer
software package. Developed since 1997 at Électricité de France R&D, Code_Saturne
is distributed under the GNU GPL licence. Code_Saturne is an open source CFD
software. It is based on a co-located finite-volume approach that accepts meshes with
any type of cell (tetrahedral, hexahedral, prismatic, pyramidal, polyhedral...) and any
type of grid structure (unstructured, block structured, hybrid, conforming or with
hanging nodes...).
Two examples of the above would be different combustion models used in the
code, where pulverized coal is a separate phase from air. Also, multi-gas or multi-liquid
computations may be handled, though this requires a more advanced setup (usually
assigning a species field for secondary fluids mixture fraction, and defining fluid
properties such as density and viscosity based on the mixture.
9. ADINA
ADINA is a commercial engineering simulation software program that is
developed and distributed worldwide by ADINA R & D, Inc. by Dr. Klaus-Jürgen
Bathe, at , Massachusetts, United States.
Type Private
The ADINA CFD program provides state-of-the-art finite element and control
volume capabilities for incompressible and compressible flows. The flows may contain
free surfaces and moving interfaces between fluids, and between fluids and structures.
An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is used.
The procedure used in ADINA CFD is based on finite element and finite volume
discretization schemes, with a most general and efficient solution approach. General
flow conditi Basic assumptions used in modeling fluid flows:
The engine is hidden entirely behind simple C++ classes, so that no OpenCL
knowledge is required from application programmers. Mesh-free, immersed boundary
approach allows one to move from CAD directly to simulation drastically reducing pre-
processing efforts and amount of potential errors. ASL can be used to model various
coupled physical and chemical phenomena and employed in a multitude of fields.

OVERFLOW is a software package for simulating fluid flow around solid bodies
using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is a compressible 3-D flow solver that solves
the time-dependent, Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes equations using multiple overset
structured grids. VERFLOW is a three-dimensional time-marching I mplicit Navier-Stokes
code that can also operate in two-dimensional or axisymmetric mode. The code uses structured
overset grid systems.
