NUMAP-FOAM Summer School 2022, Sep 2022, Cambridge, United Kingdom
 

Following the COVID-induced break, The Centre for Scientific Computing at the Department of Physics, The Cavendish Laboratory announces the 15th edition of the Summer School on Modelling of Coupled Problems in Applied Physics with OpenFOAM (NUMAP-FOAM) for graduate students and young researchers in Cambridge in September 2022. The Program Chair is dr. Hrvoje Jasak.

The School aims to provide tuition at expert level for a small and selected group of students and researchers in academia and industry. The idea of the NUMAP-FOAM School is to expand the physical modelling knowledge, numerics and programming skills of attendees using OpenFOAM in their research through direct supervision and one-to-one project work. Lectures on chosen topics of mathematical and numerical modelling pertinent to coupled problems in engineering and applied physics will be delivered in addition. For further references, please contact the organisers or one of more than 150 alumni of previous editions of the School.

To ensure quality of work and individual supervision, the number of places is strictly limited.


The Summer 2022 edition NUMAP-FOAM shall take place between Monday, 12 September 2022 and Friday, 23 September 2022, inclusive (10 working days). The School shall be held at the The Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, (Maxwell Building), University of Cambridge, UK.


Students are invited to propose their own topics for the School. Preference shall be given to project which require complex programming in OpenFOAM, advanced software design and implementation of complex and coupled physical models in OpenFOAM. Special topics for this year's Summer School include multi-phase and free surface flows, high-order discretisation methods (Discontinuous Galerkin), Reduced Order Modelling, Combustion modelling, Electro-chemistry in CFD and Magneto-hydro-dynamics applications.


To apply, please write a one-page description of the project you wish to work on, with current problems and goals to be achieved at the School. Application is open to all students on graduate University courses, as well as researchers in companies and government organisations with sufficient knowledge of OpenFOAM.

Please note this is NOT an introductory OpenFOAM course: significant understanding of the project and software is a pre-requisite for application.

Deadline for application is 15 June 2022. Successful candidates will be informed within two weeks of closing.


Attendees to the School should plan to cover their travel and accommodation expenses, ideally bringing a laptop computer with them. A registration fee for the School is GBP 2000 per attendee. It is recommended to look for accommodation at one of many Cambridge Colleges.


For further details and submission of project proposals, please contact dr. Hrvoje Jasak at hj348@cam.ac.uk.
