Dutch OpenFOAM Users Group |
|
This is the site of the Dutch OpenFOAM users group which will officially be launched during the First OpenFOAM Users Day at Delft University of Technology on November 4, 2010 (see below).
OpenFOAM is a C++ toolbox for the customisation and extension of numerical solvers for continuum mechanics problems, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It comes with a growing collection of pre-written solvers applicable to a wide range of problems. It is produced by the UK company OpenCFD Ltd. and is released as open source under the GPL.
There is a rapidly growing interest and development of OpenFOAM at universities, research institutes, and industries. It is becoming an important platform for smooth and rapid transition of ideas, methods, and software developed at universities to research institutes and industries. Since it is open source all details of the used methods are available. Many companies are considering OpenFOAM as a cheap and flexible alternative to commercial CFD packages.
The growing interest in the Netherlands has led to an initiative for creating a Dutch OpenFOAM users group. The group is intended for the exchange of experience and expertise among OpenFOAM users in the Netherlands. |

Next Meeting on June 12, 2012 |
|
The next user meeting of the Dutch OpenFOAM user group will take place at Delft University of Technology on June 12, 2012. For the morning program, we are organizing an interactive workshop with an OpenFOAM expert so that you can discuss your problems and experiences with OpenFOAM. In the afternoon, we have an interesting program with speakers from various places in Europe.

Course "Introduction to OpenFOAM for CFD analysis" on June 20, 2012 |
|
On June 20, 2012 an introductory course in the use of OpenFOAM for computational fluid dynamics analysis will be given at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of Delft University of Technology, in Delft.
The course is organized in the framework of the Dutch OpenFOAM user group (DOUG), by members of the Numerical Analysis group of the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM) and the Aerodynamics group of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology. This is the third time this course is taught and the organizers have used all the feedback from the first two editions to further improve the course material. There are now five tutorials available, and the participants can choose three that best suit their interest.

The Validation Initiative |
|
One of the main issues confronting OpenFOAM user is the lack of available validation results. Therefore, two of the Special Interest Groups (Maritime applications/FSI and Multiphase) of the Dutch OpenFOAM users group have decided to start a validation initiative.
