Though commercial CFD codes are widely used in flow analysis, but there are free/open source programs which have been applying for computational fluid dynamics. An open source software makes it possible to customize the solver according to the flow features. In the present paper, cavitating flows over 2D NACA66 hydrofoil were simulated based on open source software, where SALOME is used for mesh generation, OpenFOAM for flow solution under Debian GNU/Linux operating system. The results show the simulated cavitating flow characteristics such as cavity revolution, vortex shedding, cavitation induced pressure vibrations, etc. are validated by experiments and results obtained from proprietary software as Ansys Fluent. Thus, the proposed numerical methods based on open source platform are suitable for flow simulations, even for depicting the complicated physics of cavitation.
