Learn about OpenFOAM, one of the most promising mathematical libraries for numerical simulation, by joining the workshop delivered by Dr. Hrvoje Jasak, one of the original developers of this numerical library.
The Field Operation library (OpenFoam) provides powerful operators for all differential operators and equation solving primarily implemented by the Finite Volume Method. OpenFOAM makes extensive use of the resources of the C++ programing language and may be executed on distributed machines such as Linux clusters. OpenFOAM is an open source library for numerical simulations in continuum mechanics. Written in C++ and in strictly object-oriented model, it incorporates state-of-the-art numerical modelling and extensive capabilities in modular form for easy user customisation. This includes a full suite of fluid flow models, including laminar, turbulent (RANS, LES and DES), multi-phase, free surface and reacting flows, as well as non-linear stress analysis solvers and coupled fluid-structure interaction. Library capabilities are enhanced with efficient and massively parallel linear equation solvers, flexible moving deforming mesh modules with polyhedral cell support, Lagrangian spray modelling, real material properties library etc. All of this is available in full source, allowing for easy customisation to the problem at hand.

About Dr. H. Jasak:
Dr. Hrvoje Jasak has been an active FOAM/OpenFOAM developer since his doctoral studies at Imperial College London (1993-1996). On completing his PhD, he has joined the STAR-CD development at CD-adapco. Between 2000 and 2004, as a Technical Director of Nabla Ltd. he was responsible for all aspects of OpenFOAM development, resulting in the Open Source release of the library. His continued involvement with the project includes not only contributing code, but also a collaboration with several University research groups and supervision of PhD projects involving OpenFOAM.
Dr. Jasak has contributed over 250 thousand lines of OpenFOAM library and developed a number of novel techniques, including work in unstructured FVM, polyhedral mesh support (1996), automatic mesh motion (2000) and support topological changes (2004). He was instrumental in developing and implementing a number of physical models, including turbulence models, FVM stress analysis, free surface and multi-phase models etc. Currently, he is involved with next-generation software development at Fluent/Ansys, holds a teaching position at the University of Zagreb, Croatia (www.fsb.hr) and runs an independent consultancy Wikki Ltd. (www.wikki.co.uk).
