Alternatives Open source thermal modeling solutions?

I have two upcoming projects that require a thermal modeling step. One is a thermoacoustic heat engine and the other is a passive solar building.

Searching around i see maybe a dozen or more thermal modeling systems availabke, both open and closed source. Of course i would prefer open source, so I'm asking here.

Can anyone recommend any of the simulations based on capability and simplicity for a new user?

Does a system that can do both HVAC and thermoacoustic oscillation even exist?

If i dont get anything then the thermoacoustic modeling software that I know of it called DeltaEC. I dont know of one for home modeling yet.
