OpenFOAM

Open-source CFD framework offering unrestricted solver customization, HPC scalability, and zero licensing cost for industrial fluid simulations.

Official Website

OpenFOAM (Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation) is a C++-based computational continuum mechanics framework that provides an extensive suite of CFD solvers, meshing utilities, and post-processing tools under the GNU General Public License. It is the most widely adopted open-source CFD platform in both academia and industry.

Shirsh TechnoSolutions deploys OpenFOAM for projects where licensing cost sensitivity, solver customizability, or massively parallel HPC scalability are key requirements. Our team maintains validated case templates for incompressible and compressible flow, conjugate heat transfer, and multiphase simulations — enabling rapid project setup without sacrificing engineering rigor.

Incompressible and compressible flow solving (simpleFoam, rhoSimpleFoam)

Transient multiphase flow with volume-of-fluid (interFoam)

Conjugate heat transfer with chtMultiRegionFoam

Turbulence modeling (k-ε, k-ω SST, Spalart-Allmaras, LES)

Custom solver development via C++ class inheritance
