Optimization with Dakota and OpenFOAM.
I am updating this link.  At the moment I am rewriting the tutorials using DAKOTA 6.3.0, OpenFOAM-3.0.x, salome 7.7.1 and python 2.7


SUSE Linux for opensource CFD (with OpenFOAM 5.x)
If you are new to linux and you do not want to go thru the hustle and bustle of installing it, partioning your hard drive, and installing all the applications, I highly recommend you to use this linux version based on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1. You can install this linux version using any virtual machine (in Windows, Linux, and MACOS), but I highly recommend you to use vmware workstation player (there is a free for Windows).

This linux image was build using SUSE Studio.  This service will be shut down in Feb 2018, so this will be the last suported release. For more information, visit this link http://blog.susestudio.com/2017/11/shut-down-of-suse-studio-at.html


OpenFOAM 7 on Raspberry pi 3 (Raspbian GNU/Linux 8)
I have been using a Raspberry pi 3 as a media center and data center, and I was  curious if it was possible to do heavy computations on one of these. So I decided to try to install OpenFOAM and it turns out that the installation is very straightforward.
