Open Source Python Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software for Windows

FFTW++ is a C++ header class for the FFTW Fast Fourier Transform library that automates memory allocation, alignment, planning, wisdom, and communication on both serial and parallel (OpenMP/MPI) architectures. In 2D and 3D, hybrid dealiasing of convolutions substantially reduces memory usage and computation time. Wrappers for C, Python, and Fortran are included.

Construct2D is a grid generator designed to create 2D grids for CFD computations on airfoils. The grids are generated in Plot3D format. The only required input file is the set of coordinates defining the airfoil geometry, using the same format as XFoil, the popular vortex-panel code for airfoil analysis. Construct2D can create grids with O topology (recommended for airfoils with a blunt trailing edge) or C topology (recommended for airfoils with a sharp trailing edge). Now available in version 2.0: hyperbolic grid generation to create higher quality grids in a fraction of the time compared to elliptic grid generation. Elliptic grid generation is still available also. Smooth airfoil surface spacing is handled automatically with user-controlled clustering parameters. Also included is a visualizer written in Python with matplotlib.
