  • FOSSEE OpenFOAM Symposium on CFD

    A 2 day Symposium on OpenFOAM for CFD was conducted during 8-9 Jan 2026 at the Aerospace Department, IIT Bombay. The symposium was arranged to bring together the OpenFOAM users of the IIT Bombay community. The event was attended by faculty, students and research scholars of IIT Bombay. There were more than 50 participants. Faculty members from various departments presented their work and talked about how OpenFOAM was used in their research work. The OpenFOAM faculty lead Prof. Chandan Bose, visiting faculty, Chemical Engineering Department and the FOSSEE CFD team ensured a smooth conduct of the event.

    On the Day 1 of the Symposium there were talk sessions by professors of IIT Bombay. A panel discussion followed the talk sessions, wherein the Faculty Partners and Advisory Board members of the CFD team of FOSSEE came together to discuss a few topics on CFD that are of high significance to the CFD community.

    On the Day 2 of the symposium a workshop was organised at IIT Bombay. Students of IIT Bombay and some nearby regions of Mumbai were invited to attend the workshop. The workshop focused on the intermediate and advanced levels of OpenFOAM. Prof. Chandan Bose conducted the workshop along with the CFD team members of FOSSEE, IIT Bombay. Dr. Rahul Halder from SISSA Italy presented a demonstration during the workshop as a guest speaker.   

  • The Industry Readiness Workshop on CFD was conducted during 11-14 Nov 2025 in online mode by FOSSEE, IIT Bombay. More than 1800 CFD enthusiasts showed interest to attend the workshop and hundreds of learners were benefited by the 8 sessions conducted during the 4 Day workshop. The  participants were introduced to the ongoing problems that are dealt with in the CFD industry by the Advisory Board Members of the CFD FOSSEE team. They attended multiple demonstration sessions referred from the Case Study Project of CFD FOSSEE that followed
     the corporate lectures. The Case Studies demonstrated during the workshop were relevant to the topic on which the Advisory Board Members lectured, resulting in an amazing synchrony of a virtual industry visit and academic reference.

  • ======================================================================================================================

    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

    The video recording of the Faculty Development Program 2025 is available here.

  • FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, offered a free Online Workshop on the Basics of OpenFOAM, for all CFD enthusiasts on 18th March 2025.

  • FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, organizes the first Industry-Academia Interaction to foster the Research & Development and Learning of Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using OpenFOAM. This is is an endeavour to synergize the ongoing developments in the field of CFD in academics as well as in the corporate sector. This interaction will help FOSSEE to train the CFD enthusiasts to increase their job potential. It will also help the corporate section to augment their R&D effort and access to well-trained potential employees. The Academia will also be benefitted by connecting their research to the problems that the CFD industry is focusing on at present.
