Introductory course to OpenFOAM®: first session
Monday 16 March 2015 - Tuesday 17 March 2015Lilla Koloszar, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., Phone +32(0)23599860
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.
During the coffee breaks and lunch breaks the participants will have the chance to meet each other and the instructors and discuss their interest regarding CFD.
The first session of March 16-17, 2015 is closed.
Following the success of the course, a new session has been scheduled from March 17-18, 2015. The registration is still opened for the second session.
