Introduction to modelling of materials processing and behaviour in OpenFOAM^®

OpenFOAM® (Open source Field Operation And Manipulation) is a free, open source computational toolbox that has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, both at industry and academy. As a technology, OpenFOAM® provides an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics, among several others.

This course comprises a general introduction to the structure and usability of OpenFOAM®, covering all the major phases of a typical computational case study. The resolution of problem involving heat transfer, fluid flow and solid mechanics will be illustrated in different case studies.

It is a hands-on course, thus, the participants can bring their own laptop to perform the proposed assignments.
