The programing course shows the how-to for the most common programming issues in OpenFoam® covering the implementation of new solver, adding own boundary conditions, modifying turbulence models and defining user-specific utilities. During these programing experiences the participants will get familiar with the highly templated language of OpenFoam®, with the difference of static and dynamic linking.

Basic knowledge of setting up and running OpenFoam® cases is requested in order to be able to follow the course efficiently!

The course is organized by Dr. Silvania Lopes, research engineer and Dr. Lilla Koloszar, research expert at the von Karman Institute. Part of lectures will be given by von Karman Institute PhD candidates.
