Hello all,

OPEN FOAM is an open source program for performing CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations.

Here is the hompage for it.

It requires a good deal of source code interaction in order to run.
(So I have been told.) That is why I posted this in the programming forum.

I haven't used this program yet, as I am not very good with the UNIX operating system yet and there isn't a version of this program that will run on Windows.

However, have any of you been using this program? If so, how do you like it?

Thanks
Matt

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
