Dear community,

currently I started a new project in the field of chemical engineering that involves some heavy modeling in with OpenFOAM(R). Hence, I'm considering to book one of the official OpenFOAM(R) training courses offered at http://www.openfoam.com/training .

Do you have already participated in one of those courses? Then, what is your experience? And are they worth it?

Further, I'm not sure which course it best suited for me, foundation or advanced. I have been working with OpenFOAM for almost three years now, mainly interFoam but also incompressible and compressible flow solvers. Also, I already applied some changes to some solvers, e.g., adding scalar transport equations and simple evaporation in interFoam. So, I know some basics about OpenFOAM(R). My personal background is chemical engineering but I specialized in analytical and numerical modeling during my courses and student projects. Thus, I'm familiar with some heavy math.

So, based on the information I gave, what can you recommend?

Thanks very much in advance!

Best,

Lars

P.S.: If the subforum is not suited for this topic, I would kindly ask the moderators to move the thread. Thanks!
