Classroom OpenFOAM introductory training. July 8th - 12th, 2019. Genova, Italy. (https://bit.ly/2hvNdaf)


This course is offered in cooperation with the University of Genova and Wolfdynamics (http://www.wolfdynamics.com). The course last five days, which we think is the minimum time needed to introduce all the concepts of OpenFOAM® as a general CFD and multiphysics solver, advanced subjects, and the CAD/Meshing/Visualization tools.

This training is aimed at those with little or no experience in the use of OpenFOAM®, or those who want to improve their skills using OpenFOAM®. During the lectures, the attendees will be introduced to all aspects of OpenFOAM® as a general-purpose CFD solver, from structure and organization of the library, to setting cases, to assessing the convergence, to basic programming. Additionally, a few sessions will be dedicated to solid modeling, mesh generation, and visualization using open-source tools.

During this training, we also cover the following advanced physics topics; turbulence modeling, multiphase flows, heat transfer, moving bodies, source terms, and the finite volume method.

Hands-on sessions will be organized, where the participants will have the opportunity to solve predefined cases (or their own cases) with the assistance and guidance of the course trainers.


Prerequisites: no prior knowledge of OpenFOAM®, C++ or Linux is required. However, a basic knowledge of Linux is beneficial. A basic knowledge of CFD is also desirable.

Training material: every participant will get a copy of the printed lecture notes and a USB key with the supporting material.

Teaching method: lectures and hands-on sessions to validate the acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.

Additional notes: attendees are not required to bring their own laptop since workstations with pre-installed software will be available. The inscription fee includes lunch and refreshments.
