"OpenFOAM for Computational Fluid Dynamics".
In 2014, Weller and Greenshields left OpenCFD and formed CFD Direct Ltd. On 12 September 2012, ESI Group announced the acquisition of OpenCFD Ltd, this company keeping its assets and notably the OpenFOAM trademark.
On 8 August 2011, OpenCFD was acquired by Silicon Graphics International (SGI).
#Openfoam doxygen code
In April 2008, the OpenFOAM development moved to using git for its source code repository. At the same time, Hrvoje Jasak founded the consulting company Wikki Ltd and maintained a fork of OpenFOAM called openfoam-extend, later renamed to foam-extend. Immediately afterwards, Henry Weller, Chris Greenshields and Mattijs Janssens founded OpenCFD Ltd to develop and release OpenFOAM. However, on 10 December 2004, FOAM was released under GPL and was renamed to OpenFOAM. For a few years, FOAM was sold as a commercial code by Nabla Ltd.

From this initiation to the founding of a company called Nabla Ltd, (predominantly) Henry Weller and Hrvoje Jasak carried out the basic development of the software for almost a decade. Nevertheless, as a continuum mechanics / computational fluid dynamics tool, the first development of FOAM (which became OpenFOAM later on) was virtually always presumed to be initiated by Henry Weller at the same institute by using the C++ programming language rather than the de facto standard programming language FORTRAN of the time to develop a powerful and flexible general simulation platform. As a counter argument, it has been claimed that Henry Weller created the FOAM library for field operation and manipulation which interfaced to the GUISE (Graphical User Interface Software Environment) which was created by Charlie Hill for interfacing to AVS. David Gosman's group in Imperial College London. The name FOAM has been claimed to appear for the first time as a post-processing tool written by Charlie Hill, in the early 90s in Prof. (since 2012), and transferred in 2015 to the English company The OpenFOAM Foundation Ltd.įlow simulation using OpenFOAM and ParaView for visualization variant, released by The OpenFOAM Foundation Inc.

#Openfoam doxygen license
There are three main variants of OpenFOAM software that are released as free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License Version 3. OpenFOAM (for " Open-source Field Operation And Manipulation") is a C++ toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers, and pre-/post-processing utilities for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, most prominently including computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
