Very cool. I didn't know OpenFOAM was that powerful / customizable. Glad to hear flow simulations are supported out of the box, because I wouldn't be able to evaluate it's accuracy to tweak it myself.

I've got a few ideas for capturing my own mesh using some VR tracking hardware and an Azure Kinect, both of which I've worked extensively with in the past. I've still got to look in to some software for converting from point cloud to mesh and cleaning up the model though. I think it should be possible, and free since I've already got the hardware. Professional scanners are all thousands of dollars, so I'm trying to avoid that.
