OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. 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 solid dynamics and electromagnetics.

- icoUncoupledKineticParcelSRFFoam
A Lagrangian particle tracker for single rotating frames of reference i.e pimpleFoam The icoUncoupledKineticParcelFoam solver available in Open∇FOAM® Build: 3.0.1-d8a290b55d28, is not able to handle the forces originating from the rotating frame forces (SRFForce) because it was made for geometries in a stationary reference frame. However, since the geometry is rotating here because the SRF or the single rotating frame solvers were used, a few corrections had to made. The corrections made would ensure that the resulting velocity and the position of the particle is in accordance with the rotating frame i.e the particle’s position and velocity would be output in terms of relative velocity and relative positions.
