NEXTFOAM Co., Ltd.
🔹 Since 2011
NEXTFOAM was founded in 2011 as a technology-based engineering consulting company based on OpenFOAM, an open-source CFD code, with the goal of changing the paradigm in the field of physical phenomenon simulation. Since then, it has developed into a leading consulting company in Korea in the field of thermal & fluids with the participation of experts from various industries. It has expanded its scope to the field of imaging measurement using optics and artificial intelligence as well as thermal fluids, and currently has a total of 25 employees.
Now in its 15th year in 2025, NEXTFOAM has conducted more than 300 consulting projects with more than 100 organizations including industrial companies, research institutes, universities, and public institutions.

🔹 CFD for Everyone!
CFD is still a research and development tool available to a small group of professionals with master’s and doctoral degrees, and has yet to expand beyond the lab to product design, development, and after-sales service. This is due to the high cost of analysis programs and the impact of using appropriate grid systems, boundary conditions, and numerical analysis techniques on the accuracy of results. NEXTFOAM aims to address these issues by providing open source programs, providing problem-specific solutions, and providing expert consulting.
By making CFD, a powerful solution to thermal and fluid problems, easily available to anyone who needs it, we aim to improve the performance of products and systems and make life safer and more comfortable. We also want to free experts in the field of CFD from repetitive modeling and allow them to focus on higher-level research and development.
🔹 Patented Technology
NextFOAM has secured proprietary technological capabilities in the fields of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and simulation software, and based on these capabilities, it holds a number of patented technologies.
The key patented technologies are as follows.
