SUMMARY:OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Alternative
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nBeing familiar with the workings of computational fluid dynamics is becoming almost non-negotiable in today’s job market. The ability to apply the knowledge gained in fluid mechanics to practical problems\, from simple laminar pipe flow all the way up to more advanced fluid sloshing and heat transfer problems is something all engineering companies can benefit from. Unfortunately\, the financial barrier to entry is too high for many small companies to overcome. \nOpenFOAM is an open-source alternative\, and its complete feature set\, plus the ability to customise the software down to the bare bones level for a specific goal make it an ideal alternative. The financial barrier is replaced with a time and expertise one however. \nThis webinar will give some history of and philosophy behind OpenFOAM\, before running a live tutorial of the classic dam break problem. This will allow the illustration of the case structure\, post-processing options\, as well as different meshing techniques one can apply. Finally\, a motorcycle case will be illustrated. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nInclusive: Open-source CFD offers remarkable adaptability\, formidable potency\, and is on a constant ascent.\nAcademic Perspective: Save yourself the effort of constructing custom code from the ground up\, especially when honing in on a precise niche. The fundamental framework is already at your disposal.\nIndustrial Viewpoint: Embrace cost-free access to CFD design and validation software\, tailored for industry needs.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Wilhelm Johann van den Bergh\, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Physics\, Polish Academy of Science & Former EIT Lecturer \nDr. van den Bergh completed doctoral studies in mechanical engineering at the University of Pretoria in 2021\, followed by a tenure as a lecturer at EIT until 2022. Presently\, serving as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Physics\, Polish Academy of Science. \nEngaged in cutting-edge postdoctoral research\, concentrating on the intricate realm of nucleate boiling bubbles residing on textured surfaces. Leveraging the capabilities of OpenFOAM\, this pursuit delves into the fascinating intricacies of heat transfer phenomena. \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time/UTC+8. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.
