Does anyone know of any decent (preferably free, as don't exactly have too much disposable income) Wind Tunnel Simulation software?
In-particular ones that also deal with super-sonic wind, heat resistance and frame integrity stress testing.

If there are any on SourceForge (I know of a few), that are particularly good that any of you could recommend that would be good as might be able to edit them better to my needs.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I saw one in the Dark Physics compo thingy, but I can't find a link for it...

Wasn't the DarkPhysics competion for games?
Just in-case you weren't sure, I was talking more along the lines of a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Simulator.

I do to a degree understand the basics of how to get something that works real-time via Shaders to do basic CFD, as I've done it for some smoke and water tech demos in the past.

However I'm trying to find something a bit more in-depth than what I've previously done. On I found on SourceForge (OpenFOAM) is good, but having the simulation realtime isn't quite as necessary as more accurate data.

I did find this website on the subject, which covers a good number of calculations for a few different aspect; althought there is no information on propulsion aspects. The ones I found on SourceForge also do not cover that, I also couldn't find information on the thermal dynamics of resistance forces.
