Versions and Containers

Explore supported OpenFOAM versions and container images on the Inductiva.AI Cloud HPC platform.

OpenFOAM is an open-source C++ toolbox designed for the development of custom numerical solvers and pre- and post-processing utilities. It is widely used for solving a variety of continuum mechanics problems, including computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, electromagnetism, and multiphase flow.

Supported Versions

Inductiva stays up to date with the latest versions of OpenFOAM and supports both OpenFOAM distributions: ESI Group and OpenFOAM Foundation, giving you access to the full range of OpenFOAM capabilities.

Below is a list of the supported versions, along with their respective release dates:

To use a specific OpenFOAM version, specify the version and distribution when initializing the simulator. For example, for ESI Group version 25.06:

OpenFOAM = inductiva.simulators.OpenFOAM( \
    version="25.06",
    distribution="esi")

Or for OpenFOAM Foundation version 13:

OpenFOAM = inductiva.simulators.OpenFOAM( \
    version="13",
    distribution="foundation")
