C++ applied to OpenFOAM online course

This course includes manuals and exercises. Students will require approximately 20 hours to pass the course. The maximum time to complete the course is one month. An aptitude certificate will be issued to the students who pass the course. The whole material (exercises and texts) is available from the first day and there is no schedule. This enables each student to progress according to his learning pace. Our website has chat, forums, remote desktop connection, video conferencing, internal mail, etc. The teachers (M.I. Lamas and C.G. Rodriguez) have an extensive experience in CFD and OpenFOAM and papers in important international journals.

Description
 
Aimed at:

This course is aimed at people who want to understand and make modifications to C++ features in OpenFOAM. Regarding C++, any previous knowledge is not necesary to follow the course. Students who do not have any previous knowledge in C++ will receive material extra to acquire an elemental level to start this course.

Regarding OpenFOAM, it is necessary a basic knowledge of the software. For people who do not have any previous knowledge in OpenFOAM, it is recommended to follow first the course CFD with OpenFOAM, also available at Technical Courses.


Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to acquire the C++ knowledge and practical skills necessary to understand and make modifications in the OpenFOAM solvers.


Description of OpenFOAM:

OpenFOAM (Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation) is a free, open source CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software capable of solving multiple problems such as complex flows, turbulence, chemical reactions, heat transfer, electromagnetics, etc. It was developed by OpenCFD Ltd at ESI group and distributed by the OpenFOAM foundation.

This course has been entirely developed by Technical Courses. This offering is not approved or endorsed by OpenCFD Limited, the producer of the OpenFOAM software and owner of the OPENFOAM® and OpenCFD® trade marks.
