OpenFOAM Training and Workshop
in Zagreb, Croatia 26-28/Jan/2006


OpenFOAM Workshop

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB), University of Zagreb, Croatia and Wikki Ltd announce a 3-day OpenFOAM Training and Workshop in Zagreb, Croatia on 26-28 January 2006.

The idea of the workshop is to encourage the spread of OpenFOAM in the CFD community by helping the new users and developers to understand the layout, design and capabilities of the library. The Workshop will consist of two parts:

  • Software and architecture overview.

    Here, a guided tour of the OpenFOAM library and various top-level executables will be given, including overall design and some implementation details. The objective is to help the audience with their use of OpenFOAM and development work through better understanding of the library, tools and their capabilities. This will be followed by some OpenFOAM tutorials with the help of expert users. The training sessions will be given by dr. Hrvoje Jasak, the original OpenFOAM developer.

  • Examples of Application.

    In the second part, a number of speakers will presents their experience with OpenFOAM and results of past and present projects. The idea of this session is not only to illustrate the capabilities but also encourage exchange of information between OpenFOAM developers in various research and industrial institutions.
