NCC Greece and the National Technical University of Athens have announced an online course titled Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics and OpenFOAM, using High-Performance Computing. The course will take place on 17 February 2025.
The course includes an introduction to High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using OpenFOAM, with a demonstration of the SLURM job submission system. The session begins with setting up and troubleshooting a virtual HPC environment, which attendees will install on their own machines to simulate an HPC experience. The schedule covers fundamental concepts of CFD, such as the notions of a mesh, turbulence modeling, solution algorithms, and discretization schemes, and introduces OpenFOAM’s features and history. Attendees will submit and manage CFD jobs in a simulated HPC environment. The course will conclude with examples of high-fidelity simulations from various engineering domains from Politecnico di Milano.
