Fundamentals of fulid modelling with OpenFOAM (FMOF)
In this course you will learn the fundamentals of simulations and computational fluid dynamics. You will learn how to use OpenFOAM open-source software to set up a simulation, post process the simulation data and analyze the results.
This course is project oriented, the course participants will work in groups on the project. You will set up a case, define the boundary conditions, run the simulation case with the proper solver, visualize the results and extract data from the simulation.
It’s expected that each participant gives a presentation on their simulation case, visualization and results. Having a computer is necessary to participate in this course.
