Multiphase Flows with OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM Short Course, 20–23 March 2023
2022/12/12
From 20–23 March 2023 the CRC 1194 will organize a short course on multiphase flow simulations with OpenFOAM. The event covers the theoretical basis of multiphase flow approaches, from model fundamentals to numerical methods and solver families as well as the multiphase capabilities of OpenFOAM.
OpenFOAM® is a widely spread open-source C++ library and a powerful software platform for solving a variety of problems in computational continuum physics including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multiphysics applications. The three-and-a-half-day short course on multiphase flow simulations with OpenFOAM will cover the theoretical basis of multiphase flow approaches:
- Model fundamentals
- Numerical methods
- OpenFOAM solver families
- OpenFOAM’s multiphase capabilities
Furthermore, the course aims at providing a distinctive overview over cutting-edge method developments going on in the international OpenFOAM community. Thus, the course goes beyond what standard OpenFOAM provides and gives attendees the unique opportunity to acquire the knowledge and method competence required to tackle challenging multiphase flow problems.
This year’s special topics cover
- Sharp interface methods
- Diffuse interface methods
- Eulerian-Eulerian multi-fluid methods
- The discrete element method
The program is intended to stimulate intensive discussions between the participants and the lecturers as well as between the participants themselves. The aim is to address on-going developments as well as to discuss application problems.
