Description

This comprehensive course is designed for students, engineers, researchers... to be able to use OpenFOAM from scratch to conduct CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) in a simple and practical way. Never mind if you have no experience in CFD or OpenFOAM, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with mastery of the subject.

After several years working as an Industrial Engineer, I have realized that CFD is one of the most powerful tools that exist in engineering and is really sought. And in addition, the demand is increasing. Knowing how to carry out this type of simulation can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits.

And as if that were not enough, solving these simulations in OpenFOAM will offer you even more advantages, since it is an open source software that is not subject to licenses (it is free) and that can offer equally optimal or even more accurate results than commercial programs. For this reason, in just a few years it has become one of the leaders in the sector and one of the programs most sought by companies in the figure of the engineer.

The big problem has always been the complexity to learn that it requires, since its understanding is not easy. In this course I try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, and you will be able to carry out and understand your own flow problems in a short time, as well as their physical sense and the logic of the procedure, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed resolution of great variety of complete on-demand problems in which you will master the main and different physical applications of OpenFOAM and CFD:

Incompressible flow
Compressible flow
Heat transfer
Multi-phase flow
You will understand how to select the correct solver and setting your own simulations

In other words, what I want is to contribute my grain of sand and teach you all those things that I would have liked to know in my beginnings and that nobody told me. In this way, you will be able to learn to solve different types of problems quickly and make versatile and complete use of OpenFOAM. And if that were not enough, I will be at your disposal and I will answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.

Learning OpenFOAM has never been easier. What are you waiting to join?
