CFD TRAINING
ACADEMY
Training built around a real test case rather than a slide deck: the theory of the modelled phenomenon, the software module that implements it, and the case you then run yourself.
OPENFOAM INTRODUCTORY COURSE
A 360° introduction to the features of OpenFOAM, the well-known open source CFD software.
Theory and practice — The theoretical lessons on the physics of the modelled phenomena sit next to the software modules that implement them and the practical test cases that put both to work.
Customizable modules — Some modules are general and necessary to understand how the software works. Others are activated on request — including a test case of your own choosing.
THE MODULES
1.0Introduction to CFD
CFD theory, and the equations underlying computational fluid dynamics.
2.0Introduction to OpenFOAM
What OpenFOAM is: a short introduction, the folder structure, installation.
3.0Meshing in OpenFOAM
Using the most common meshers associated with OpenFOAM.
4.0Test case: Airfoil 2D
Simulation of a 2D wing profile, at different levels of difficulty.
5.0Rotating Regions in OpenFOAM
Theory and simulations with rotor and stator components: the MRF and Moving Mesh approaches.
6.0Multiphase in OpenFOAM
Multiphase theory, with practical examples of VOF analysis.
7.0Paraview
The main functions of the Paraview post-processing software.
8.0Test Case on request
Simulation of a test case of your choosing.
TRAINING COURSES ON REQUEST
OpenFOAM
A C++ toolbox for customising and extending numerical simulation software. Built on continuum mechanics, and used mainly for computational fluid dynamics.
Ansys Fluent — CFX
Ansys develops and markets engineering simulation software. Fluent and CFX are used to perform fluid-dynamic analyses of any kind.
MATLAB
An environment for numerical calculation and statistical analysis, with the programming language of the same name — the natural place to model a physical phenomenon from an engineering point of view.
