OpenFOAM® is a widely-used open-source code and a powerful framework for solving a variety of problems mainly in the field of CFD. The five-day workshop gives an introduction to OpenFOAM® applied on CFD phenomena and is intended for beginners as well as for people with CFD background knowledge. The user will learn about case setup, meshing tools like snappyHexMesh and cfMesh. Available OpenFOAM® utilities and additional libraries like swak4Foam, that can be used for pre- and postprocessing tasks, are further aspects of this course. Additionally, basic solvers and major aspects of code structure are highlighted. Lectures and hands-on sessions with typical CFD examples will guide through this course including first steps in own coding. This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

Additionally, the HiDALGO digital twin for urban air pollution and the workflow for urban air pollution modelling will be introduced during the workshop. HiDALGO is the EU Centre of Excellence for Global Challenges. See also the moodle platform of HiDALGO training.
