von Karman Institute Lecture Series
Introductory course to OpenFOAM® 2025
25-26 March 2025
Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium (near Brussels)
About
The course gives a practical introduction to the structure and usability of OpenFoam and OpenFOAM related applications (snappyHexMesh, paraview). Besides the general introduction the participants will perform a complete numerical simulation starting from choosing the solver till post-processing.
The second day will be partially dedicated to the open source mesh generator snappyHexMesh and a multiphase simulation will be performed with the obtained mesh.
The course is organized by Dr. Silvania Lopes, Research Engineer at the von Karman Institute. Part of lectures will be given by von Karman Institute PhD candidates.
The course will take place on-site only. There is no remote option.
