That's exactly why I hoped to find a binding to a CFD library (written in C/C++ or Fortran): so I could write all the data IO and analysis routines in Octave and directly call a faster code to run the actual CFD solver. I would also like to find good CFD code license under the GPL/LGPL. At the moment I would not like to invest a lot of money on proprietary code, if I can find free code that fits my needs. I am investigating a few free options (OpenFlower, OpenFOAM, etc), and hope that I can find some that would be not-too-difficult to bind to Octave, in the case I will have to do it myself (and I never wrote a simple OCT-file).
