Previously known as OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-extend, the foam-extend project is a fork of the OpenFOAM open source library for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

It contains bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as extensions and additional features provided by community contributors such as dynamic mesh and topological change support, turbomachinery extensions including general grid interpolation (GGI), cyclic GGI and mixing plane, block-coupled matrix support, implicitly coupled conjugate heat transfer and other physics coupling, finite area method, comprehensive dynamic mesh (motion and topological changes) capability and GPU support.

Gerris is a software program for the solution of the partial differential equations describing fluid flow. It is a tree-based adaptive solver for the incompressible Euler equations in complex geometries.

Gerris was developed from scratch by Stéphane Popinet starting in 2001. The first version was released as GPL-licensed code in September 2001. Gerris is not an adaptation of any previous existing code.

The OpenFOAM (Open Field Operation and Manipulation) CFD Toolbox is a free, open source CFD software package which has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations.

OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
