💥💥💥 New year - new challenges - "OpenFoam project" part 2 (main differences between OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent)

 OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent are both software tools for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, but they have some key differences. Here are some of the main ones:


How do I choose between OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent?

Which one is better for simulating turbulence?

Simulating turbulence is a challenging task that depends on the type and complexity of the flow, the accuracy and stability of the numerical methods, and the suitability and validity of the turbulence models. Therefore, there is no definitive answer to which software is better for simulating turbulence, as it may vary from case to case. However, some general considerations are:

The best way to compare the software for simulating turbulence is to run the same problem with the same settings and mesh, and compare the results in terms of accuracy, convergence, and computational time. You can also consult the literature and the web for more information and examples of turbulence simulations with OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent12345

Which one is better for simualting Conjugate Heat Transfer ?

Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) is the process of heat transfer between a solid and a fluid, or between different solids, in contact with each other1. Simulating CHT requires solving the energy equation for both the fluid and the solid domains, and applying appropriate boundary conditions at the interface2.

Both OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent are capable of simulating CHT, but they have some differences in their approaches and features. Here are some of the main ones:
