This [https:// github.com/foam-at-pt/foam-at-pt.github.io/releases/download/PrimeiroEncontro/B1-applications-and-temperature.tar.gz pdf] gives you an extensive introduction into the simulation workflow of OpenFOAM. You will learn the basics required for a successful simulation. You will cover the following topics:

• general introduction
• solvers
• versions
• code structure
• case structure
• summery of numerical entries
• simple 1D problem
  • physics
  • numerics
  • approximations
  • meshing with blockMesh
  • boundary conditions
  • compiling the code
  • running the case
  • post processing

If you want to compile the solver and run the case, download the files here:
