Description This course is an introduction to CFD using OpenFOAM, which is the most widely used open-source toolkit for CFD. The fact that OpenFOAM is open-source makes it highly versatile allowing you to modify any aspect of the code to your needs and set up fully automated workflows. In this course, you will get knowledge about all aspects of OpenFOAM and learn how to comfortably set up simulation of various fluid flows yourself. See the course webpage for a detailed description. A full description day-to-day schedule can be found at our course website.

Prerequisites: Participants need to be familiar with the most basic linux commands before attending the course. Training material will be sent out to participants in due time before the course starts.

Form of evaluation: The course will be evaluated through miniprojects.

Course literature: Participants need a working installation of OpenFOAM before attending the course. A guide will be sent out to participants in due time before the course starts.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
