Overview
This course introduces some advanced topics of the open-source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM. It concentrates on the topics important for external aerodynamics computations. Among others are especially advanced meshing techniques for quality near-wall prismatic mesh layers, turbulence modeling and wall functions, DES and LES modeling, drag and lift prediction and post-processing, near-wall post-processing, blended discretization, and other numerical stabilization.
An experienced trainer from OpenCFD – the company delivering the official distribution of OpenFOAM every 6 months - will be presenting practical training based on the latest release. Training is based on a mixture of lectures and hands-on exploring simple applications run on a cloud computer. More information can be found at https://openfoam.com/training/aerospace.php
