OpenFOAM Alchemist

This training is offered on request to individuals and small groups. For more details, please see below.

We will start with a simple pipe flow problem, and then make it more complex by adding new physics, e.g. turbulence, heat transfer, and finally a flexible pipe. Do not be surprised if we change the problems a little bit!

Alternatively, we can design the course around your problem.

Our target audience includes two main groups; first, the new users who plan to start using OpenFOAM, or those who just have started. Number two, those who have been playing around OpenFOAM for a while, but want to level up to a premium experience by leveraging the wealth of tools both inside and outside OpenFOAM, that is, function objects, bash scripting, gnuplot and VIM.
