Faculty Development Program on CFD-OpenFOAM

======================================================================================================================

The Faculty Development Program was organised in June 2025 to impart knowledge to the faculty members to solve CFD problems while understanding the intricacies involved in simulations through a robust at the same time easy to use CFD tool box- OpenFOAM.

At the end of this workshop, participants learnt-

• how to set up, view the files and run a case in OpenFOAM 
• to become familiar with pre-processing tools and will be able to generate mesh, set the boundary & initial conditions, learn simulation control etc.
• how to plot and visualise the results in ParaView.
• how to use a turbulence model in a simulation and to compare the results from a simulation using different turbulence models.
• how to apply higher-order numerical schemes in CFD simulations.
• to simulate multiphase flows.
• about Dynamic meshing.
• to add a scalar transport equation in a solver.

The Faculty members who attended the program was benefitted by-

• Learning fundamentals of CFD using OpenFOAM 
• Learning to simulate problem in OpenFOAM 
• Learning essentials of post-processing 
• Receiving certificate for attending the 4 day OpenFOAM learning program
