This article deals with the comparison and review of two solvers from the open-source CFD tool, OpenFOAM®, in the field of compressible fluids: the explicit segregated density-based solver (rhoCentralFoam), and the PIMPLE algorithm solver (sonicFoam). In spite of the numerous studies showing both solvers, there are not yet been presented complete flowcharts. This work will expose the creation of two flowcharts based on bibliographic review. For the purpose of the demonstration of the application of the two solvers, the Mach number, and the mass flow rate in time in the current case analysis are numerically estimated in both cases in an ISO 9300 Venturi nozzle case analysis.
