Greetings to all!
I'm kicking off this page already in sticky mode, to give this a rolling start. This thread is aimed at two major topics:
Which means that this very first post will mutate over time, depending on the needs proposed in the following posts. In addition, the following list can be reduced as people - that means you, who is reading this right now - help with transferring more and more information to the unofficial wiki for OpenFOAM technology, so that this kind of information can become more and more consolidated: http://openfoamwiki.net __________________________________________________ ______ Here is a short list of links on where you can find more information:
__________________________________________________ ______ Here is a list of threads where newcomers have asked about how to get started with OpenFOAM:
A few more from my blog: __________________________________________________ ______ Please post more suggestions to add to this post, as well as contributing to the wiki! Best regards, Bruno

Allow me to lead by example.
On the following thread you can find some more details about how to set turbulence options: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...e-problem.html edit: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post528060 post #4 - how to find out what boundary conditions exist and where to find out more about them.

The forum member ron_OFuser has been eagerly suggesting this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-chalmers.html

Hello,
After years of using GUI-based CFD software I have finally decided to try my hand at OpenFOAM. The docs on wyldcat's list have been extremely useful, but either there isn't, or I couldn't find, a lot of information about the thermophysical properties and models. I have set up a compressible turbulent 2D simulation, and it is crashing giving me error on the thermo files (T not converging after a couple of iterations). A page/tutorial/document explaining the thermophysical models in some kind of detail would be extremely useful to help me figure out why this is happening. Unfortunately anything in the header files that is not comment is completely lost on me, and due to time pressure it's a bit hard for me to look into learning even the basic rules of C++ before setting this model up. Even a link showing all the equations being solved would be great. I am posting here as I guess a thermo-specific tutorial would be useful to others as well. Many thanks! |

Hi wyldcat,
Thanks a lot, the presentation from Chalmers is very useful indeed. I will also add a link to this thread for anyone wanting to use tabulated thermophysical properties. |

Hi Foamers,
Here is a link that really helped me during my really first time with OpenFOAM. Beginners, help yourself with these tutorials. http://the-foam-house5.webnode.es/products-/ Have a nice project, Adrien |

This is my favourite thread
If you are interested in the algorithms used to solve CFD simulations (i.e. linear algebra on steroids), I found this very useful series of lectures from Prof Gilbert Strang of MIT. The whole course is very interesting, but the most relevant lectures are 12 to 19. Maybe watch lectures 1,2, 8 and 9 as a refresher. You only need basic knowledge of differential equations and linear algebra to follow. |

Greetings,
Adding to this list a link to YouTube videos of: OpenFOAM introductory course @ Ghent University (May'16) by Prof. Hrojve Jasak. It's a five-part video series with each video being an hour long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iZf...6xDh5L9bbeK3BL Hope this helps. |

Hello,
I had compiled a list of OpenFOAM references in a blog post (http://jibranhaider.weebly.com/blog/...openfoam-users) sometime ago. It might be useful for people who are beginning to learn OpenFOAM.

I've found out just now about Jibran's course on a PDF: OpenFOAM course for beginners
I really (or anyone reading this post) need to create a wiki page at openfoamwiki.net to make it easier and allow everyone to help consolidate all of this information in a single wiki page... edit: Here is another useful thread that Tobi wrote recently: Correct boundary conditions for p_rgh (special for vertical patches) Last edited by wyldckat; October 20, 2018 at 16:54.

Dear Bruno, I have added my course on the openfoam wiki page. I don't know the opinion of others but somehow I feel that this page can be organized and updated in a better way (just my opinion!). I believe someone needs to take control to organize and maintain all of the useful information here. I would be willing to do this job if needed. Having said all of this, it could be just me who thinks this way.
