Resumen:
During the last years the users involved in the usage of OpenFOAM R software to solve fluid dynamics problems are significatively increasing due to the available tools and solvers on the Web, due to the sinergy that is present in several forums and specially due to the fact that OpenFOAM is open source with a GPL license type placing this kind of software in a competitive position against their commercial counterparts. More and more the widespread of CFD is taking place there will be more people interested in such a solution.
In this work we present several tests to understand the madurity of OpenFOAM software as a tool for Computational Fluid Dynamics. Due to our experience in the usage of others commercial and open source CFD software we are worried about a strong validation of OpenFOAM results against their counterpart reference solutions.
Finally some conclusions are presented as guidelines for using OpenFOAM for industrial problems.
