Dear all,

I'm pleased to announce that we are organizing the third OpenFOAM workshop, which will be held in Milan, Italy on the 10th and the 11th of July 2008.

This is a preliminary announcement to allow all interested people to plan in advance their participation. Further and more detailed information will be given soon (www.openfoamworkshop.org).

Anyone who wishes to give any suggestion or would like to be involved in the organization is welcome to contact me directly.

I'll probably be in US in July, but I wish you a great success for the event! I'll spread the information around :-)

Dear all,

the wiki page of the Third OpenFOAM Workshop (www.openfoamworkshop.org) has been updated with all the information about thematic sessions, deadlines, registration and practicalities.

For the benefit of new OpenFOAM users, basic Training Sessions will be provided the day before the Workshop (the 9th of July 2008). Training will be structured to demonstrate library capabilities in complex physics and go through basic steps of OpenFOAM use and customization. The training course is co-organized by Politecnico di Milano and Chalmers University of Technology.

Dear All,

I am pleased to announce that the program of the next OpenFOAM workshop, which will be held in Milan (10-11 July 2008) is now available on the wiki page of the Third OpenFOAM Workshop (www.openfoamworkshop.org) and that all abstracts can be downloaded from each session page. Due to the high number of proposed contributions we could not extend the deadline for abstracts, but I would like to invite anyone who wishes to contribute to the workshop to contact me directly to see if we can arrange some poster sessions.

I would also like to invite everyone who intends to attend to proceed with the the registration to allow a better organization of the event (http://www.openfoamworkshop.org/08/O...ation_form.pdf).

For those who are interested a limited number of rooms has been reserved in a hotel near the workshop location at a preferential participant rate. Please have a look at the Accomodation link (http://www.openfoamworkshop.org/08/i...=Accommodation)

Regards,

Gianluca D'Errico.

I am extremely interested in this:

* E. de Villiers, A. Jackson (ICON), M. Janssens (OpenCFD Ltd), Automatic Parallel Polyhedral Mesh Generation on Complex Geometries in OpenFOAM

Thats what OpenFOAM was lacking to get a real competitive CFD code. Is a beta of the software somewhere out there?

I think the organizers will make the presentations available for download soon. If not, mail me directly for a copy. I think the document is too big to upload to this site.

Thank you to the Gianluca D'Errico and his team at Politecnico di Milano! They did a great job organizing the workshop. It is always nice to meet the faceless names from the Forum in person, and to see all of the great things being done in the OpenFOAM community!!

There were 250 participants and 42 presentations at the workshop, and around 125 participants at the training. With this kind of growth (I think there were ~100 people at Zagreb), I wouldn't be surprised if 300-400 people attended the 4th Workshop next year!
