Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics and OpenFOAM
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.
