CFD OpenFOAM Practical Course-OP1 2024 Run2

Agenda: 12 Online-Live Lectures x 90 min from November 20 to December 30, Mondays and Wednesday 16:30-18:00 Berlin Time. This is a Supervised-Live Online Course for both beginners starting OpenFOAM and OpenFOAM Users who want to be in live discussions with top OpenFOAM Instructor and Teaching Assistants, for the required OpenFOAM programing and customizing towards advanced computation fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Recordings of the live lectures will be available after each lecture for more than 6 months for the registered participants.

Registration Deadline: November 19, for Early Registration Discount 20% November 07.

This course covers OpenFOAM installation and running on different systems, CFD Finite Volume modeling and discretization, mesh generation, boundary conditions and solution algorithms settings, simulation and post processing, along with practical CFD projects.

According to our experience with more than 500 CFD students and participants of our CFD courses in 2023 and 2024 organized by the WAC Transport Phenomena Academy, the approach of this course also is providing interactive live discussions between the WAC Professors (Prof. Hamidreza Norouzi and Colleagues), Experts and Students with complementary extra supports of WAC Teaching Assistants needed to reach required skills for practical CFD Simulations.
