How to start with OpenFOAM

Josenoah · April 24, 2018, 08:20

Dear All,

I am trying to explore openfoam for fluid flow in pipe simulation. As of now, I only know about how to install openfoam.
Can someone suggest for me the good ways, tutorials etc so that I can learn this tool faster.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend three places to start:

1. The official tutorial:
https://www.openfoam.com/documentation/tutorial-guide/

2. The "3 Weeks":
https://wiki.openfoam.com/%223_weeks%22_series

3. Follow József Nagy on youtube:

And one last thing: Ask and ask a lot. Tedious task for a newbie, might be trivial for somebody who have spent time with OpenFOAM.

Moi,

Additional to what Fridrik wrote, I recommend you to start with:

http://www.wolfdynamics.com/our-serv...ing.html?id=50

It is very well documented.

Also take a look at my answer in this thread:
