From September 2008, OpenFOAM (the open source CFD toolbox) foundation and advanced training will be available from OpenCFD via www.hpctraining.com - the education division of SGI.

Each course, relevant to all levels of practitioner in CFD and of 2 days duration, will be hosted at SGI's training centres in Reading and Munich, with additional course dates being planned for early 2009 and rolling out in the USA around the same time.

OpenFOAM, produced by OpenCFD, simulates complex fluid flows involving multiple phases, turbulence, heat transfer, particle-tracking and chemical reactions. As an open source product, and freely available under the GNU General Public Licence, OpenFOAM is fully extensible, enabling users to customise it for their own needs. OpenFOAM is used worldwide, by industry and academics alike, across a wide range of engineeing applications, e.g. automotive, nuclear, marine, fire, medical, processing and HVAC.

SGI is a leading provider of high performance computing, storage and visualization.
