Winter School on OpenFOAM with Supercomputing

OpenFOAM (for "Open-source Field Operation And Manipulation") is a C++ toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers, and pre-/post-processing utilities for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, most prominently including computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Overview of the main benefits - OpenFOAM®

• Technologically equivalent to commercial solutions - in the right hands OpenFOAM® gives even more accurate results, see chart above.
• Ability to create individualized solutions - unlike commercial software OpenFOAM® offers great scope for custom development. This allows you to have CFD solutions literally tailored to your specific development, your product portfolio.
• Totally free - no licensing fees, unlimited number of users, jobs & cores.
• Able to quickly achieve accurate results – refining of results compared with experiment is significantly faster.
• Easy automation - "push button solution" - we can set up for you a fully automated solution based on the platform of OpenFOAM®.
• Still open source but with a commercial entity in the back - the company OpenCFD, the main developer of OpenFOAM®, was bought by ESI, which is committed to continue funding the development, while maintaining the open source nature of this technology. This eliminates the fear of problem support.
• The best for last – With OpenFOAM®, we record approx. 40% reduction in costs associated with CFD on average after its deployment at the customer's site.
