The Computational Fluid Dynamics capability in Abaqus/CFD provides technology for simulating incompressible fluid flow, including turbulence and deforming meshes.

Adina CFD program provides 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.

CFD++ can be used to simulate compressible and incompressible fluids and flows, unsteady and steady flows, large range of speed regimes including low speeds through subsonic, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic speeds, laminar and turbulent flows, various equations of state.

CFD-CADalyzer has been designed to work directly on the CAD model and permitting rapid sequential or parallel CFD simulations to assess the potential performance of multiple design variants and alternatives. It is available for virtually all of the leading MCAD products including Pro/E, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Mechanical Desktop and ACIS & Parasolid.

CFdesign is a simulation tool for fluid flow, heat transfer and electronics coolings simulation tool for CAD-centric product design engineers using AutoDesk Inventor, AutoDesk Revit, CATIA, CoCreate OneSpace, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, SpaceClaim or Siemens NX/IDEAS.

CFDShip-Iowa solves the incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and continuity equations with a variety of turbulence models, and a single-phase level set method to accommodate free surface problems. Since it has been specifically developed for surface-ship and marine-propulsor flow problems, it has an array of ship hydrodynamic specific subroutines and post-processors.

The EllipSys3D code is a multiblock finite volume discretization of the incompressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in general curvilinear coordinates. It is developed in co-operation between the Department of Mechanical Engineering at DTU and The Department of Wind Energy at Risø National Laboratory. The solver has been developed for wind turbines.

Elmer is a finite element software package for the solution of partial differential equations.  Elmer can deal with a great number of different equations,  which may be coupled in a generic manner making Elmer a versatile  tool  for  multiphysical  simulations.

As  an  open  source  software,  Elmer  also  gives  the  user  the means to modify the existing solution procedures and to develop new solvers for equations of interest to the user.

The FrontFlow/blue (FFB) is a finite element method solver for incompressible turbulent flows by LES and RANS with second-order accuracy in terms both of time and space. Standard Smagorinsky model (SSM) and dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM) are implemented for the SGS model, and SA model is implemented for RANS.

Crank-Nicolson method and fractional step (FS) method are implemented to solve the momentum equations and the pressure Poisson equation, respectively. FFB runs in massively parallel by the domain decomposition method.

Finflo is a Navier-Stokes solver capable of handling incompressible and compressible flow, i.e. subsonic, transonic and supersonic flows. The code is based on a structured multiblock grid topology. The Reynolds-averaged thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a Finite-Volume method.

Flow-3D is a multi-physics computational fluid dynamics package and provides an insight into many physical flow processes, including solutions coupled to thermal energy transfer, 6-degree of freedom fluid-solid interaction, and mechanical and thermal stress analysis. Flow-3D is an all-inclusive package from setup to simulation to post-processing. No additional modules are necessary.

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.

FreSCo+ is a Free Surface RANS code for maritime applications such as; wave resistance predictions, ship wake predictions, ship dynamic behavior in waves, maneuvering predictions, and propeller flows incl. cavitation.
