Welcome

Interaction between fluid and a human-made structure or device is design critical in a wide range of engineering disciplines. When designing bridges, cars, wind turbines and when optimising electronics cooling, ship hulls etc. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is becoming an ever more important design tool. CFD enables faster design loop iteration by detailed flow analysis in or around a proposed design in a virtual environment.

Why learn OpenFOAM®?

This course is an introduction to CFD using OpenFOAM® which is the most widely used open-source toolkit for CFD. The fact that OpenFOAM® is open-source makes it highly versatile allowing you to modify any aspect of the code to his/her needs and set up fully automated workflows. While large scale simulations with commercial CFD software can be extremely expensive due to license fees, OpenFOAM® can be run on massively parallel HPC’s at no additional cost.

How you will benefit from this course

During this course you will be working with OpenFOAM® and gain practical experience in its usage. No matter if this your first experience with CFD software or you already know about other CFD tools, you will after this course be able to setup OpenFOAM® simulations using best practices and know about how to continue your OpenFOAM® journey.
