Where can I get free wind tunnel software?

Can someone please tell me where to download a simple wind tunnel software program?

I found "flow illustrator" but the site is not working. But something simple like that is what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

Dennis

"Simple" and "wind tunnel" are pretty much mutually exclusive. There are some programs that will do a 2d analysis based on a 2d image, but that is not the same thing as a wind tunnel. You really need to be working with 3d models to have meaningful results.

openfoam is what I have considered looking at in the past. Not simple though.

I am not familiar with the programs mentioned, but it appears the site is up and running:
Flow Illustrator home page

I'm at work right now though, so I can not try the movie maker for myself..

This site is running but it says there is a 1170 minute wait time and I have not been able to figure out how to use my own bitmap.

Thanks

Revised: I just found the bitmap button. Thank you.
