Overview
This course covers dynamic mesh capabilities of OpenFOAM. Covering simulations of rotating bodies (propellers, turbines, wheels), 6DoF and adaptive mesh refinement. At the end of the training, attendees will have the opportunity to download prepared example setups for additional self-study.
An experienced trainer from OpenCFD – the company delivering official distribution of OpenFOAM every 6 months - will be presenting practical training based on the latest release. Training is based on mixture of lectures and hands-on exploring simple applications run on a cloud computer. More information can be found at https://openfoam.com/training/aerospace.php
Learning Objectives
- Understand how the AMI sliding interface is built in the mesh
- Familiarize with the prescribed and 6DoF type of movements
- Understand the motion setup from simple to complicated configurations
- Learn best practices for moving body configurations
The Dynamic Mesh course is suitable for existing users of OpenFOAM seeking to broaden their knowledge of OpenFOAM to simulate propellers, or other rotating or translating bodies or floating or falling objects. The Course is designed to impart important background knowledge to be able to use OpenFOAM effectively. The aim of the training is not only to show how to use OpenFOAM but as well to explain how it works to help users understand the choices they make on meshing, numerics, and boundary condition setup with respect to the desired results.
