Ingenieur-Tool V: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) mit OpenFOAM
Goals
- The participants will learn to use the open source simulation software OpenFOAM on a user level (i.e. to conduct classical CFD studies).
- We will also introduce the students into programming with OpenFOAM so they will be able to implement additional equations into existing solvers.
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of C++ and Linux is an advantage, but not required.
- If you want to work on your own laptop, you must download and install the VirtualBox appliance with ExtensionPack on your laptop before you arrive at the lecture.
- Print the lecture slides!
Time and Place
Three afternoons in room ML H41.1:
- Tuesday, 19.02.2013 from 12:30 (!) to 17:00
- Wednesday, 20.02.2013 from 13:00 to 17:00
- Thursday, 21.02.2013 from 13:00 to 17:00
If you cannot bring your own laptop, you may as well arrive on Tuesday at 13.00. You will then be assigned to an IFD work station; there's only a limited amount of work stations.

Preparations
- For those interested in installing OpenFOAM on their own laptops or computers, the following sections will give some short instructions on how to do so under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
- By installing OpenFOAM yourself you ensure that you will be able to make the most of the 3 afternoons and really can dig into OpenFOAM. A further advantage to you will be the availability of the software on your laptop for further projects or lectures, such as Turbulence Modeling and Advanced CFD Methods.
- For all others, there will be 16 workstations available for your use during the course. If there are not enough workstations for everybody, in our experience it isn't a problem if some students work in pairs.
Installation Instructions
- For most students we recommend to install our VirtualBox appliance.
- Linux users can read this.
IMPORTANT: If you decide to install OpenFOAM, make sure it is version 1.7.1. Since the differences between the versions of OpenFOAM are large you will not be able to follow the course if you install a different version!
About OpenFOAM
- OpenFOAM is a very professional open-source simulation package which is freely (CHF 0.-) available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It consists of a vast C++ library, many different applications and additional tools. Although most of the existing applications are flow solvers, OpenFOAM can be used in many different areas, as varied as solid dynamics, electromagnetics or pricing of financial options.
- Most users make only use of the included applications. One particular strength of OpenFOAM, however, is that new applications and even extensions of the library can be developed in a rather compact and elegant way.
