OpenFOAM Hackathon

The OpenFOAM Hackathon was a platform for the CFD-OpenFOAM community to show their skills in OpenFOAM. Participants upgraded solved Case Studies into the latest versions of OpenFOAM  (v10 and v2212) according to the standards of openfoam.org or openfoam.com.
 
FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, has reopened the platform for the CFD enthusiasts to continue this activity. Anyone can pick up any case study and upgrade it to the latest version of OpenFOAM (v10 and v2212). The participants are expected to submit the case files of the upgraded case study, along with the report. The participants are also expected to do at least 2 peer reviews. FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, will pay an honorarium of Rs. 500 to an individual participant on completion of one case study upgradation plus two peer reviews. FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, will recognise the contribution of each participant, their institute and their guide, through a URL. Participants can avail the opportunity of referring the URL anytime in future.
