PUFoam : A novel open-source CFD solver for the simulation of polyurethane foams

Restrictions: Due to lack of available experimentally-based or analytical models, the current version of the solver supports two different blowing agents including n-pentane and R-11. Further, the growth rate of the bubbles is assumed to be diffusion-controlled and its rate associated with the concentration gradient around the bubbles. This restriction will be relaxed in near future by adopting a detailed model for the bubble growth rate. It must be also reminded that the solver is compiled with OpenFOAM version 3.0.1 and compiling it with other versions might require additional efforts.
