Please note: the training is free of charge but registration is required.

The training can be attended on site or online. Due to the current outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, we offer our trainings exclusively online until further notice.

Online participants can join via Microsoft Teams. The link will be sent to you before the event begins.

Time

  • 09:30 – 12:00
  • Lunch break (one hour)
  • 13:00 – 15:00

All times are Central European Summer Time (CEST) between April and November. Central European Time (CET) otherwise.

Contents

1. Introduction

  • Possibilities for CFD with free software
  • OpenFOAM history review
  • Installation and multicore usage of OpenFOAM

2. Running simple OpenFOAM simulations automated

  • Introduction of the project InsightCAE
  • Usage of InsightCAE’s GUI to run simulations fully automated on two examples:
    • Object in a wind tunnel, determination of resistance
    • Internal flow through valve, determination of pressure loss

 

3. Graphical postprocessing using Paraview

  • Concept of Paraview
  • Load OpenFOAM results
  • Extract section planes, surface contours, isosurfaces, streamlines

4. Build OpenFOAM simulations from scratch

Using InsightCAE‘s Case Builder for easy and fast case setup, including:

  • creation of configuration for snappyHexMesh with graphical preview,
  • creation of reasonable Finite-Volume schemes and solution settings,
  • setting initial and boundary conditions using Case Builder,
  • turbulence modelling (RANS/LES/DES) setup,
  • settings for parallelized simulationsInsightCAE OpenFOAM Case Builder - Boundary Condition Setup

 

5. Direction to more complex tasks and simulations:

  • free surface
  • mesh refinement
  • complex geometries (mesh import/snappyHexMesh)
  • Process integration and automatization
  • Solving custom questions
