Introduction to numerical optimization using DAKOTA and OpenFOAM®

  • Instructor: Joel Guerrero
  • Summary: In this training session the attendees will be introduced to numerical optimization using DAKOTA. We will address how to conduct parametrical and design of experiments studies, single and multi-objective optimization, surrogate based optimization, exploratory data analysis, and how to couple DAKOTA with OpenFOAM® (or any other black box solver). To follow this training session a basic knowledge of OpenFOAM® is required. No prior knowledge of DAKOTA is required.

PyFoam for the lazy

  • Instructor: Bernhard Gschaider
  • Subtitle: Let the computer do the post-processing for you.
  • Summary: Foam (especially function objects) produce a large number of data files. To analyse these files in commonly used tools they have to be converted and manipulated (relabeling, interpolation etc). This process is tedious and error prone (especially if they have to be done for a large number of simulations) . PyFoam offers a number of utilities that allow the user to do these things automatically. This presentation will demonstrate these utilities.
  • Training type: Intermediate
  • Session type: Lecture with examples
  • Software stack: OpenFOAM 3.0.x, foam-extend 4.0 and PyFoam

 Erosion modeling in OpenFOAM

  • Instructor: Alejandro Lopez, University of Strathclyde
  • Summary: A brief introduction to the general erosion modeling (and models available in the literature and in some CFD codes) will be presented, followed by a description of how erosion can be modeled in both Lagrangian and Eulerian frames in OpenFOAM. Finally, some examples of how to implement your own erosion and rebound models within the intermediate library will be explained.
  • Training type: Intermediate
  • Session type: Lecture with examples
  • Software stack: OpenFOAM 3.0.x (applicable to 2.3.x)
  • Training Material: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwfuSMqexhZxN3JiY3pWRWRhNk0?resourcekey=0-dAhYv_tekJTpgKAoVgUOeg&usp=sharing

 Simulations with particles, using the Lagrangian method

  • Instructor: Alejandro Lopez, University of Strathclyde
  • Summary: The objective is to review the whole range of case set-up, running and post-processing simulations that use the Lagrangian method for fluid flow with particles. The Lagrangian-intermediate library will be used (nearly-fully featured particle flow). Brief overview of other possibilities for Lagrangian particles such as the “solidParticle”.
