The Internal Combustion Engine Group of Politecnico di Milano announces The Third OpenFOAM Workshop, to be held in Milan, Italy 10-11 July 2008.

The Workshop is split into thematic sessions, to help participants stay up-to-date by providing indications of emerging and developing ideas in each research area. Additional technical talks will be promoted on the use of OpenFOAM, including advanced programming and code customization.

For the benefit of new users and people interested in knowing the OpenFOAM code, a one-day Training Course will be provided the day before the Workshop (the 9th of July 2008).
