Description: In the three-day course, the use of the OpenFOAM software package, which is currently the most developed open-source CFD system, will be demonstrated. As the name itself suggests, it is an open-source system that any user can enhance according to their needs. Initially, the use of ParaVIEW, a graphical environment for visually reviewing and processing data from OpenFOAM, will be shown. This will be followed by an explanation of how the OpenFOAM environment, with demonstrations of simple examples. Since the foundation of CFD is the mesh, the use of three open-source mesh generators will be demonstrated: GMSH, BlockMesh, and SnappyHexMesh. Subsequently, the application of various areas within the OpenFOAM environment will be explained and demonstrated, including:
- Fluid transport
- Transient simulations
- Transient data processing (animation, particles in flow)
- Multiphase flows
- Multi-region simulation (Multi-region)
- Running cases in an HPC system utilizing OpenFOAM's parallel capabilities
