OpenFOAM Workshop: registration reminder

Dear All,

The plans for the Second OpenFOAM Workshop are being finalised at the moment and on its web site you can find the titles and abstracts from various contributors. Final timetable will follow probably next week.

Currently, there is about around 40 people registered and the deadline for registration is nearing (1/May/2007).

If you are interested in attending, please drop me an E-mail on hrvoje.jasak@fsb.hr. For those interested in attending training sessions, please mention so in your E-mail. Remember: first-come-first-served and places are limited.

Zagreb is very nice in June and next year we will be elsewhere :-) so use it while you can.

Best,

Dear All,

The final timetable for the Second OpenFOAM Workshop is now in place. May I remind everyone to check their slots and inform me by E-mail as soon as possible in case of conflicts.

There will be a CD-ROM with all presentations and abstracts assembled after the conference. In order to help with the postage, please bring a business card (or a paper with your mailing address) to registration.

For session organisers: I would be grateful if you could check what I've done to various sessions and timing and please let me know if I've made a mess.

Training Sessions are planned for lunch-time on 7th and 8th June. Please plan for it: bring a computer (I've got only 8!), and maybe a sandwich.

Looking forward to meeting you all in Zagreb,

Hrv

Hrv,

Concerning computers and the training sessions, which version of OpenFOAM are you planning to use?

Concerning computers and the training sessions, which version of OpenFOAM are you planning to use?

Either or both, depending on last minute decisions about relative buggyness. Changes between 1.3 and 1.4 are too small to notice anything significant for basic training. Playing it safe would be the patched-up version of 1.3 that I release from time to time; if you can deal with some problems and missing functionality in 1.4 (e.g. surface tracking, tet motion solvers, finite area), you're welcome to it. There is a chance that a merged up version of 1.4 + bug fixes will be ready as well, but that needs validating. In any case, whichever (recent) version of OpenFOAM you bring, you'll be fine.
