OpenFOAM is the free, open source CFD software developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to acoustics, solid mechanics and electromagnetics.

The windows version released by blueCFD relies on additional non-free components such as MS MPI.

It can also be installed on Windows using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), instructions are here.
