Hello Everyone

My research interest is Turbulence for internal flow.
(Characterization of turbulence in Aorta using CFD)
And I'm going to learn OpenFOAM soon.
But I haven't learned about coding before.
So I want to ask 2 questions before starting to learn OpenFOAM.

1. Recommendation of OpenFOAM lecture(Youtube link, MOOC link and etc)
I want to take a open lecture to learn OpenFOAM.
Could you recommend something?
If that lecture is focusing on turbulence also, it is the best.
Please recommend good open lecture.

2. C++
I've heard that OpenFOAM is based on C++ in terms of coding.
But I haven't learned about coding before.
Should I learn C++ first?
If I should learn C++, how deep do I have to study?
If there is a good lecture to take it before learning OpenFOAM, I need the link of that lecture also.
Please let me know.

Thanks

You may use OF without C++ knowledge. There are manuals, but same important are the examples which are delivered with OF. And, of course, this forum here.

In the beginning, you may feel C++ language is not highly necessary to work with OpenFoam. But when it comes to project, you need to customize your code appropriately. In that case, debugging matters where you should start learning C language parallely to enhance your skills.
I can email you the notes if necessary.
Good luck
