CFD Software for NACA duct calcuations


Recommended Posts

Problem: CFD Software for calculations. Must be free, opensource etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? I found this really cool website which has a lot of them (you have to scroll down a ways):

Goal: To calculate the size requirements of a NACA duct split in half and still flow appx 150cfm I.E. a tradiotnal NACA duct flowing ~300cfm split in half and placed on opposite sides of the 240z hood for intake vents. I know realistically, just doing 2 traditional NACA ducts would work the best, but I'd like to go with something a little more aesthetically pleasing.

 

Solutions: Any ideas? I have a calculator than can help me size the NACA duct, but in no particular relation to CFM.
