OpenFOAM introductory training. July 13-17, 2020. Genova, Italy. (https://bit.ly/2SuMoQa)

This course is offered in cooperation with the University of Genova and Wolfdynamics (http://www.wolfdynamics.com). The course last five days, which we think is the minimum time needed to introduce all the concepts of OpenFOAM as a general CFD and multiphysics solver, advanced topics, and the CAD/Meshing/Visualization tools.

This training is aimed at those with little or no experience in the use of OpenFOAM, or those who want to improve their skills using OpenFOAM as a general-purpose CFD and Multiphysics solver. During the lectures, the attendees will be introduced to all aspects of OpenFOAM as a general-purpose CFD solver, from structure and organization of the library to setting cases from scratch, to assessing the convergence, to post-processing, to basic programming. Additionally, we will also address solid modeling and scientific visualization. During this training, we also cover the following advanced physical models: turbulence modeling, multiphase flows, heat transfer, moving bodies, and source terms. Hands-on sessions will be organized, where the participants will have the opportunity to solve predefined cases (or their own cases) with the assistance and guidance of the course trainers. To help the learning process, a short introduction to the finite volume method will also be provided. The course prepares the attendees to conduct end-to-end CFD studies, that is, CAD → Meshing → Simulations → Design exploration → Data analytics, using the numerical library OpenFOAM®.

Prerequisites: no prior knowledge of OpenFOAM®, C++ or Linux is required. However, a basic knowledge of Linux is beneficial. A basic knowledge of CFD is also desirable.

Training material: every participant will get a copy of the printed lecture notes and a USB key with the supporting material.

Teaching method: lectures and hands-on sessions to validate the acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.

Additional notes: attendees are not required to bring their own laptop since workstations with pre-installed software will be available. The inscription fee includes lunch and refreshments.
