OpenFOAM® Advanced Course


Important notice.  The course is rescheduled from April 20-21 to April 28-29.


This two days course run by OpenCFD Ltd, UK covers advanced topics on the open source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM. It is designed to enable the participants to use OpenFOAM effectively on real engineering problems and develop the toolbox to suite their needs. It covers general use and programming of OpenFOAM, building on topics presented earlier in the OpenCFD Ltd's Foundation Course. The training will include live demonstrations of real cases and exercises in programming. A live OpenFOAM/Linux installation is provided on a USB memory stick which participants can boot on their personal laptops and use to follow the live demonstrations and examples.

This course is for those users with a broad basic knowledge of OpenFOAM, either from the Foundation Course or through general experience, who wish to develop their skills for more advanced CFD and OpenFOAM programming.

The course follows on from OpenCFD Ltd's  Foundation Course in OpenFOAM, which introduces the use of OpenFOAM, Linux, C++ programming, the finite volume method, etc.  Users are recommended to undertake the OpenFOAM Foundation Course prior to this course, but it is not essential for more experienced OpenFOAM users.
