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.

Preliminary Programme (April 3rd):

9:10 – 11:00 – Introduction to OpenFOAM: Pre-processing

11:00 – 11:20 – Coffee-break

11:20 – 12:40 – Introduction to OpenFOAM: Simulation and Post Processing

12:40 – 14:00 – Lunch break

14:00 – 15:50 – Hands-on: Multiphase flow

15:50 – 16:10 – Coffee-break

MATERIAIS congresses are one of the most effective and important discussion fora on Materials Science and Engineering in Portugal. MATERIAIS 2023 aims at discussing the most recent scientific and technological advances in Materials Science and Engineering within the general agenda of contributing to Sustainability for a Future. A special emphasis will be given to the following topics:

  • Materials for environmental protection and remediation
  • Biomedical, Bio-Derived and Bio-Inspired Materials
  • Materials for the digital transformation
  • Materials for mobility
  • Materials for structural and multifunctional applications
  • Materials for energy and power generation
  • Materials and cultural heritage

MATERIAIS 2023 will be organized by the University of Minho and PIEP (Innovation Pole in Polymer Engineering), an R&D non-profit private association. The University of Minho has campi in Braga and Guimarães (Azurém) and offers a number of graduate and post-graduate courses in Materials-related areas, and hosts important Research Centres pursing research in Materials Science and Engineering. Nowadays, the city of Guimarães is one of the most important national centres of research and innovation in Materials Science and Engineering, as well as of associated industrial activity.


We look forward to seeing you in April 2023!

Centro Cultural Vila Flor – Guimarães
Av. D. Afonso Henriques, 701 | Guimarães

The Vila Flor Cultural Center (CCVF) is a cultural facility, whose mission is to co-create, program and produce cultural activities in the field of the performing arts. It comprises two auditoriums, a Café Concerto, and Palácio Vila Flor, an 18th century building and its magnificent gardens.

Guimarães is considered the birthplace of Portugal because Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, was born here. The historical centre in the area that was within the Guimarães city walls was classified a World Heritage site based on the originality and authenticity applied in its restoration. The city maintains a well-preserved heritage that is evident in the graceful iron verandas, granite balconies and porticos, mansions, arches connecting the narrow streets, paving slabs smoothed by time, towers and cloisters.
