About the course

We go through the basic settings and structure of OpenFOAM cases. We practice the use of OpenFOAM solvers, utilities and functionObjects. We validate the results of academic test-cases. We script the work processes to make them efficient and reproducible. The examination is by hand-in of assignments.

This course is a prerequisite for FTME055.
