The foam-extend project is a fork of the OpenFOAM® open source
library for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It is an open
project welcoming and integrating contributions from all users and
developers. Previously known as OpenFOAM®-dev and OpenFOAM®-extend,
developers. Previously known as OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-extend,
it contains bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as
extensions and additional features provided by community
contributors (see file ListOfContributors), such as dynamic mesh and
topological change support, turbomachinery extensions including
general grid interpolation (GGI), cyclic GGI and mixing plane,
block-coupled matrix support, implicitly coupled conjugate heat
transfer and other pyshics coupling, finite area method,
transfer and other physics coupling, finite area method,
comprehensive dynamic mesh (motion and topological changes)

OpenFOAM-1.7.x. In some cases, the differences are caused by bug
fixes and algorithmic improvements, considered more important than
inter-operability.

A large number of features have been lost within the release of
OpenFOAM since version 1.3, the code base has shrunk by more than
40%. While we understand the lack of technical ability of
supporting advanced CFD features, we feel that existing features and
specifically large-scale contributions should remain active and
developed further. Below is a list of main features of foam-extend
which are lacking, lost, deactivated or unusable in ESI releases:
