High Fidelity CFD methods such as hybrid RANS-LES and WMLES approaches offer the potential for much greater trust in CFD in typical engineering design processes and lays the foundations for a fully virtual design process. Dr. Neil Ashton, Principal CFD Specialist at Amazon Web Services will explain how AWS is making this a reality for small to enterprise customers. He’ll go through detailed examples of the use of OpenFOAM on AWS from a range of sectors including large-scale cases using more than 500 million cells on thousands of cores.

Introduction to the use of the solids4Foam toolbox for performing solid mechanics and fluid-solid interaction simulations with OpenFOAM.
Advanced ParaView and Pre-Processing Using Computational Model Builder
Dan Lipsa and Bob Obara, Kitware, Inc.
This tutorial will introduce, using hands-on examples, user defined filters in ParaView. After a brief description of the ParaView interface, we are going to introduce the VTK data model used in ParaView filters and then present the Calculator, Python Calculator, and the Programmable Filter. Using these tools, users can create arbitrarily complex custom processing in their ParaView pipelines. We will also present Computational Model Builder (CMB) which is built on top of ParaView and complements its post processing capabilities with pre-processing functionality necessary to support a simulation workflow.

The session will cover turbulence modelling in OpenFOAM using RANS, LES and DES methods, showing with practical examples how to set up and modify turbulent simulation cases and discuss some of the useful tools provided in the OpenFOAM toolkit.
This training provides an overview of the meshing capabilities of cfMesh and CF-MESH+. cfMesh is a library consisting of various meshing workflows that generate various types of meshes (3D and 2D hex-dominant, tetrahedral, polyhedral). It is a library of tools designed to be easy to use and extensible into custom meshing workflows suited for a problem at hand. CF-MESH+ delivers high-quality boundary layers, multi-domain meshing, and a GUI making it easy-to-use for novice users.
This training will provide an executive overview into solution approaches for different multiphysics problem classes available in OpenFOAM. Specific focus will be on inter-domain and inter-equation coupling techniques examplified for heat and mass transfer problems across fixed and evolving interfaces (multiphase flow).

The State of OpenFOAM
Dr. Hrvoje Jasak
Wikki Ltd.
United Kingdom
It has been my pleasure to marvel at the impact of OpenFOAM in the academic and industrial setting over the last 25 years. The code is now more popular and with a greater impact than ever envisaged; consequently the most interesting developments and examples of OpenFOAM in use warrant special attention.
In this talk, I will review some new features and examples of good (and bad) community activities during the last year.
8:30-10:00

Keynote III: OpenFOAM Governance
Dr. Fred Mendonça
Managing Director
OpenCFD Ltd
United Kingdom
Without doubt, since its first release in 2004, OpenFOAM has changed the paradigm of academic research and engineering analysis-based use of CFD in industry. It owes its existence primarily to a prior generation of genius physicists and mathematicians who brought CFD to the trust-level it enjoys today, and also to a following half-generation of able successors who continue to develop and “productionise” it’s use. It is now a code which is used across the spectrum from fundamental research to the highest production readiness level (TRL).
OpenFOAM’s future is entrusted to us all as Opensource. Collective participation in any such project is key to driving its longevity. Conversely, fracturing contributes to limited sustainability and outreach. It is incumbent on us to participate in the maintenance and continuous development of this project, to retain its free-availability and open-source nature which also permits contributions on a prolifically wide and unrestricted but quality controlled basis.
Since ESI acquired OpenCFD seven years ago, it has taken pains first to consolidate a professional basis for regular code releases, next to create a development framework for wider acceptance from all able contributors, and finally to give OpenFOAM end-users a principle say in its direction. This as OpenFOAM Governance; without exception you are invited, perhaps expected, to participate.
