Cool!

Yes, this is what I am thinking about. Maybe also include some discussion of why specific schemes/tolerances/turbulence model/BCs is applied.

It will be cool if there is some kind of repository for OpenFOAM cases. I have seen a lot of impressive OpenFOAM simulation on Youtube. But, they are simply animations. NO details of how they are setup. Virtually impossible to learn from them how to setup the same (or similar) simulation. It is too bad.

Great, I see what you mean. That is also what we three have agreed upon - more application driven tutorial (show) cases with more detailed case descriptions. Thank you very much for the feedback!

I wish to buy this book.

But the site, at the payment section, asks me to acknowledge in English that "I have read and accept the terms", while the terms are in German (http://www.sourceflux.de/terms/ ).

Can I buy this book from anywhere else?

Sorry about that Malik, we have been avoiding the legal terms translation as if it is the same as going to the dentist.

You are the second person that has had a problem with the fact that the AGB (a German acronym as wel ) text is in written in German.

I guess that your only option is to trust us, until we get that thing translated. At this point in time no, you can't buy the book anywhere else.

May I suggest adding a link to Google Translate or a similar service and tell people to ask about details via contact form or email, in case the translation isn't comprehensible?
For example, the person can ask:
Quote:
I can't understand what section 1.2 is telling us
which by the way, is telling us this:
Quote:
You can contact our customer service for questions and complaints on weekdays from 9:00 PM until 18:00 PM Email under [...]
"[...]" is because I omitted the email address

Best regards,
Bruno

Hey,

is the book still available?
The buy-Link on the sourceflux-website is broken for me.

Or maybe, someone here wants to sell me a used copy ?

Greetings
