The aim of this course is to cover the basic knowledge that is needed to efficiently
use OpenSource software for Computational Fluid Dynamic Applications

Description:

  

The use of OpenSource CFD in industry and academia has been growing rapidly   

the last decade. Many industries and government labs use it as a complement to   

the proprietary CFD tools, in order to reduce license costs and facilitate the usage   

of large computational resources. Some industries, and academia, use it because it   

facilitates the development of new functionalities throughout the entire code,   

without the limitation of specific modifications through user-defined functions.   

However, OpenSource CFD tools generally require more knowledge by the user   

than the proprietary alternatives. This is not necessarily a drawback, since   

although the proprietary alternatives are easier to use, the user should still have   

the same knowledge of the underlying methods in order to set up the simulations   

correctly and to assess the quality of the results. This course covers the basic   

knowledge that is needed to efficiently use OpenSource software for   

Computational Fluid Dynamic Applications
