The training can be attended on site or online. Due to the current outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, we offer our trainings exclusively online until further notice.

Online participants can join via Microsoft Teams. The link will be sent to you before the event begins. Training materials will be mailed to all online participants in advance in hard copy.

Contents

In this course, the most important programming components of the OpenFOAM basic library are introduced, i.e. vector/matrix/tensor classes, containers, fields, discretization, grid handling, etc. Furthermore, the runtime selection mechanism is explained. The structure of solvers and utilities is shown. The programming patterns, which are necessary for an extension of models, boundary conditions etc., are shown and applied by numerous examples. At the end of the course the participants should know the basic structure of the OpenFOAM project and be able to independently develop approaches for their own extensions.

The topics in detail:

• Basics
  • Structure of the OpenFOAM project, tools and build system
  • Important OpenFOAM libraries
• Building blocks of the OpenFOAM library
  • basic types
  • Input/Output
  • Vector/Tensor Types
  • Treatment of units
  • container
  • Fields, Field algebra
  • mesh handling
  • discretization
  • runtime selection
• solver
  • Read the source code:
  • laplacianFoam,
  • simpleFoam
• utilities
