There is a revolution going on, impacting and transforming how computational mechanics and the associated design and optimization are done: the emergence, availability, and large-scale use of OpenFOAM [1]. It belongs to the contemporary open-source trend not unlike the roles played by the Linux operating system or the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia. OpenFOAM is free and is used by thousands of people worldwide in both academic and industrial settings. The acronym OpenFOAM stands for Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation. Computational mathematics and mechanics provide fundamental methods and tools for simulating physical processes. Numerical computation can offer important insights and data that are either
