Sweden, November 16-17, 2017

The course teaches high-level development using the OpenFOAM
technology and C++.

Registration deadline 16th October!

Description:

 

The course covers the OpenFOAM directory and code 

organization, and how to implement new applications and 

libraries such as solvers, turbulence models and boundary 

conditions. A crash-course in C++ gives a basic 

understanding of the code syntax and object orientation. The 

course is given as a hands-on workshop. The basic procedures 

are shown using a projector, and time is left for the 

participants to follow on their own laptop (brought by the 

participant – installation instructions will be provided 

before the start of the course). The course language is English. 

 

After the course, the participant should be able to: 

 

* Understand the OpenFOAM source code directory structure 

* Understand C++ syntax and object orientation 

* Read OpenFOAM code and figure out its functionality 

* Find OpenFOAM implementation examples in the source code 

* Implement and compile new solvers and utilities, based on 

the OpenFOAM technology 

* Implement and compile new libraries, based on the OpenFOAM 

technology 

* Use a debugger while implementing new code 

* Continue learning using the installed code 

 

The course is useful for engineers and researchers who are 

interested in Computational Fluid Dynamics with OpenSource 

software. It focuses on how to do high-level implementations 

in OpenFOAM, and it is assumed that the participant already 

has a basic knowledge of the underlying theories of CFD. It 

is assumed that the participant has a very limited knowledge 

in C++ and object orientation. A significant part of the 

course is to learn how to continue learning, i.e. how to 

learn from the installed code also after course. 

 

If you are interested in taking the course you should send 

an e-mail to info@abcfd.se, and you will be put in a list 

that will be used for further information and for future 

announcements. You may at any time ask to be removed from 

that list.
