Welcome to the openfoam_intro_EN wiki!

Here you will find the documentation for the different course sections, including the documentation for the cases in OpenFOAM and the Jupyter Notebooks.

This workshop has two days with three parts each day. Below is a summary of each part with their respective learning objectives:

Day 1, Part 1: Introduction to the Finite Volume Method - learning objectives

  1. Understand the importance of computational fluid dynamics in Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering, and Biotechnology.
  2. Comprehend the finite volume method and its general usefulness.
  3. Apply finite volume discretization to a initial and boundary value problem in one-dimension.

Day 1, Part 2: Implementation of the Numerical Solution to a Transport Phenomena Problem in OpenFOAM - learning objectives

  1. Introduction to OpenFOAM and its workflow.
  2. Set up an representative OpenFOAM case of unsteady three-dimensional heat transfer in a fluid flow system.
  3. Run an OpenFOAM solver from the command line.
  4. Visualize the simulation results using ParaView.

Day 1, Part 3: Hands-on setup of a 3-D unsteady forced convection problem.

Day 2, Part 1: Post-Processing of Results in OpenFOAM - learning objectives

  1. Generate explanatory figures of the relevant transport phenomena using ParaView filters.
  2. Write a functionObject code to calculate quantities of engineering interest.

Day 2, Part 2: Advanced Examples and Solvers of OpenFOAM for Coupled Transport Phenomena - learning objectives

  1. Apply an OpenFOAM workflow to solve an existing tutorial on multiphase flow with phase change.
  2. Modify an existing OpenFOAM case using the relevant dictionaries.

Day 2, Part 3: Recycle a case to simulate a complex process
