Introduction to using OpenFOAM for CFD analysis
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Delft University of Technology
Faculty of EEMCS, Lecture room F & Computer Lab HB.05.150, Mekelweg 4, Delft
Organizer: Delft Centre for Computational Science and Engineering
Registration: The maximum number of participants is 24. Please register early at http://www.aanmelder.nl/openfoamcourse2012-6/ as we expect that more than 24 people will be interested in participating. For members of DCSE this course is free, TU Delft students pay € 50,- for the lunch and course material. For other participants the costs are € 200,- (including lunch and course material). For those who have registered for the first edition of the course but were put on the reserve list, there will be no registration fee.
On June 20, 2012 an introductory course in the use of OpenFOAM for computational fluid dynamics analysis will be given at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of Delft University of Technology, in Delft.
The course is organized in the framework of the Dutch OpenFOAM user group (DOUG), by members of the Numerical Analysis group of the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM) and the Aerodynamics group of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology. This is the third time this course is taught and the organizers have used all the feedback from the first two editions to further improve the course material. There are now five tutorials available, and the participants can choose three that best suit their interest.
You will learn all the steps involved in computational fluid dynamics analysis using Open Source algorithms: geometry modeling, mesh generation, the actual computation and visualization for some basic applications. Additionally, you will be taught how to define a simple model in OpenFOAM. The course will almost entirely consist of hands-on Lab sessions, with only a brief introduction to the theoretical background of OpenFOAM. The complete program and learning objectives of the course are listed below.

OpenFoam Day
On Januari 10, 2012 there will be two events in which you can participate:
- The validation workshop of the SIGs on Martitime
Applications/FSI and Multiphase - The Dutch OpenFOAM user meeting
Validation workshop
One of the main issues confronting OpenFOAM user is the lack of available validation results. Therefore, two Special Interest Groups (Maritime applications/FSI and Multiphase) of the Dutch OpenFOAM users group have decided to start a validation initiative.
The initiative will aim at:
- determining how reliable OpenFOAM is for real-life test cases
- learning how to use OpenFOAM in order to obtain best results
- identifying issues for further research
The meeting is intended for people who actually want to contribute to the validation activities (in the framework of their research or because they need it for their work). Lunch is available from 13:00 to 14:00 for those who also want to participate in the general meeting of the Dutch OpenFOAM user meeting in the afternoon.
User meeting
In the afternoon the keynote speaker for this event is Mattijs Janssens from OpenCFD, one of the two main companies that are developing OpenFOAM.
The meeting will take place right after the validation workshop, (please see below the program).
Participation in both events is free. Please register before January 3 2012 on http://www.aanmelder.nl/openfoam3

OpenFoam Day on July 7, 2011
On July 7, 2011 a meeting of the Dutch OpenFoam User Group will take place at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science in Delft. The program will feature:
- three speakers talking about their experiences with OpenFOAM;
- professor Hrvoje Jasak, talking about OpenFoam developments
- a meeting of at least two Special Interest Groups.
At this point, we expect that at least the SIGs on multiphase flow and on maritime applications will organize a session.
Please register before June 30, 2011 on http://www.aanmelder.nl/openfoamday/
OpenFOAM course on May 24, 2011
Following up on the great success of the previous OpenFOAM introduction course in November 2010, a new edition will be held on May 24, 2011. If you are interested in participating, you can send an e-mail to info@dutchopenfoamusers.nl This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We will then inform you about the exact date and contents of the course and on the procedure for registration as soon as registration opens. A small fee (200-300 euro) will be asked to cover the expenses.
