CFD Package Technical Comparison

ChrisHarpham · November 25, 2014, 11:12

Hi guys and girls,

I'm currently investigating the technical differences between various CFD Packages while using CHAM Phoenics for a couple of university projects. I don't have the broadest knowledge of the inner workings of CFD code and would really appreciate some help, even if it's just links to useful blogs/articles/papers etc.

Looking mostly at the most commonly used packages like Star-CCM+ and at least one open source type such as OpenFoam.

Thanks,
Chris

If you are looking for technical differences/inner workings, a quick google search will return the ANSYS Fluent technical documentation. It is an older version, but it contains plenty of details on the numerical schemes.
