Bullet is a 3D Collision Detection and Rigid Body Dynamics Library for games and animation. Free for commercial use, including Playstation 3, open source under the ZLib License. Discrete and continuous collision detection, integrated into Blender 3D, and COLLADA 1.4 Physics import.

ODE is an open source, high performance library for simulating rigid body dynamics. It is fully featured, stable, mature and platform independent with an easy to use C/C++ API. It has advanced joint types and integrated collision detection with ... [More] friction. ODE is useful for simulating vehicles, objects in virtual reality environments and virtual creatures. It is currently used in many computer games, 3D authoring tools and simulation tools. [Less]

FDS is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The software solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from ... [More] fires. Smokeview is a visualization program that is used to display the results of an FDS simulation. This application is developed and maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). [Less]

Gravit is a gravity simulator which runs under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. It's released under the GNU General Public License which makes it free. It uses Newtonian physics using the Barnes-Hut N-body algorithm. Although the main goal of Gravit is ... [More] to be as accurate as possible, it also creates beautiful looking gravity patterns. It records the history of each particle so it can animate and display a path of its travels. At any stage you can rotate your view in 3D and zoom in and out. Gravit uses OpenGL with Lua, SDL, SDL_ttf and SDL_image. [Less]

mjbWorld is a standards based 3D editor, which can graphically edit and allow users to see and interact with X3D (VRML) and other 3D formats. It is also intended to provide a platform which can be used to experiment with physics, animation, etc. Versions for Java, C++ and C# are included.
