Inaddition to being free, the large number of pre-defined solvers included and the capability foruser-defined solvers make OpenFoam suitable for educational and research purposes.Comparison of OpenFOAM with COMSOL, a widely-used commercial software, has provenOpenFOAM to be very accurate, reliable and easy to implement. Experimental analysis wasperformed using a flow visualization device named FlowCoach. A qualitative comparison ofFlowCoach and OpenFoam results indicates that the CFD results are fairly accurate.

Additionally we would not “lose” time for generating aninitial set of building materials, since this was not the primary objective of the activity. Nebel etal.
