hi

i am looking for a CFD software that i dont have to pay for and works well on windows platform. fluent is a good one that costs as wel. for students in developing countries purchasing over the net is not an option. OpenFOAM is available to linux users. what about windows users?......is there an open source cfd or freeware for use on windows platform.

Have you checked out Sourceforge or the FSF web sites?

http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=cfd

You may be able to run it under VMWare player if you know someone that will generate a player file for you to run Linux under windows, or there is a emulator you could look at, QEMU?
