I've been googling like crazy, does anyone know of an OpenSource project that uses C++ to solve physics and thermodynamics equations?

A simple google search finds one: Thermopack, which is GPL licensed. – edwardw Dec 6 '11 at 5:28
Take a look at CPROPEP rocketworkbench.sourceforge.net/projects.phtml Computation of complex chemical equilibria of a perfect gas and pure condensed species in order to characterize rocket motor performance. – user42499 Dec 8 '11 at 8:32
Is there a particular reason for using C++ over tools that are aimed a bit more (or specifically) at solving math/physics problems? MatLab, Mathematica and any number of Functional Languages come to mind, all are particularly useful for solving physics problems. – Mike Cellini Dec 8 '11 at 14:05

You might check with Professor Todd Arbogast (arbogast@math.utexas.edu) at UT Austin Math Department. His research interests are numerical analysis and partial differential equations, and he teaches numerical analysis using C++. He may know of something. He is very good people. (In 2003, doing refresher work, I took his introductory numerical methods class, to prep for the iterative methods class. Outstanding instructor!)
