Practical CFD Simulation Course OpenFoam & CFD Software

World-Academies Organizes Interactive Online-Live Course entitled “Practical CFD Simulation with OpenFoam & CFD Platforms” every three months. The course spans 16 sessions over 8 weeks, held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 16:00 to 17:30 (Berlin Time). It covers fundamental topics in fluid dynamics, material and energy balance, mass and heat transfer, Navier-Stokes Equations, computational solution algorithms, and CFD simulations using OpenFoam and CFD Software. Participants will receive a one-year Academic License for SimScale and may have the opportunity to collaborate with World-Academies and partners on CFD projects. We have already organized two runs with contributions of more than 100 international students and experts from more than 30 countries and currently we are involved in Run3 from 05 March to 30 April. You try to catch this run or be considered in waiting list of the next run. From 22 April also CFD Simulations for Multiphase Flows will be started. The other related running courses are Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transport Phenomena and Turbulence Course.

Next Online-Live Course: Practical CFD Simulation Course1: OpenFoam & CFD Software-Run3 (March 05 to April 30, 2024, 8 weeks every Tuesday and Thursday 16:00-17:30).

About the course:

World-Academies, the Knowledge Management Startup for Remote Training and Research (RTR) collaborations, based at Technical University of Dresden in Germany, organizes online course “Practical CFD Simulation with OpenFoam & CFD Platforms” such as SimScale from March 05 to April 30, 2024. The course is designed to be presented within 17 sessions x 90 min, (9 Weeks, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 16:00-17:30, Berlin Time Zone), covering subjects from basic concepts of material and energy balance, fluid dynamics, mass & heat transfer and Navier-Stokes Equations towards computational solution algorithms and CFD simulations using OpenFoam and CFD Software. The participants will be supported for one-year Academic License of SimScale, our industrial partner. The selected participants can work with World-Academies and partners as RTR collaborators on related CFD projects.

Some highlights:

In addition to the certification for the participants, the Professors can provide recommendation letters for the active participants, involved in discussions during the course, and replying the tasks and small simulation projects.
In addition to 16 main lectures, there will be also a workshop session on SimScale for two hours.
The participants will receive one year SimScale Academic License.
In addition to the main lecture time, team working will be promoted via Teaching Assistant supports, and online office advisory supports by the instructors and professors.
