Basics

  • First 3 OpenFOAM simulations - In this tutorial you will get a hands-on experience of the workflow of CFD simulations in OpenFOAM using three different cases (lid-driven cavity, pitzDaily & elbow).
  • Cavity case revisited - Here you will be taken into the depth of an OpenFOAM case in order to understand all the important in- and outputs required for a CFD simulation in OpenFOAM.


  • Cavity case - The cavity case is one of the most basics tutorials. You will get a fast walkthrough with a good explanation about the mesh, running the case and postprocessing the results.
  • Basics about OpenFOAM - Here you will find a video on the very basics, history and philosophy of OpenFOAM.
  • Taylor Couette flow - In this short tutorial you will experience your first steady state simulation, where you can directly compare your results with experiments from literature.
