  7. The Feynman Lectures on Physics


Open source, free CFD

I believe that the future of CFD lies in codes that are freely distributed (better still, open-source). The code support as well as development is, in turn, funded through non-mandatory customer contracts. Here is a list of free, and open-source CFD codes. Feel free to let me know if I left out some code.

  1. OpenFOAM; CFD Direct
