Description

Master Fluid Dynamics, Turbulence and Complex Meshing

What You'll Learn?

OpenFOAM
snappyHexMesh
Computational Fluid Dynamics

Who is this for?

OpenFOAM users looking to learn the most practical and versatile aspects of the program - those few things that everybody uses most in practice!

Researchers, engineers and hobbyists looking to enter the world of computational fluid dynamics

What You Need to Know?

Basic OpenFOAM experience

No need to be able to solve PDEs by hand but a general understanding of calculus is beneficial

Basic fluid dynamics knowledge

A working installation of OpenFOAM (I use version 6 but any should be fine)

More details

Description
The results are in - OpenFOAM can solve all the major industrial CFD problems that established competitors can. The power to design anything from jet airplanes and engines to pipes and heat exchangers is a simple download away. Unfortunately, asÂ I learned the first time I used it, OpenFOAM has a very steep learning curve. Having learned the basics several years ago I quickly realised just how complicated CFD could get. Even though I knew how to set up a case and use blockMesh with some simple solvers it wasn't always clear how to do realistic problems with knowledge of the basics. The principle difficulties were:
- Turbulence: all the really interesting flows included some aspect of this and it's often more art than science!
- Meshing: simple meshes can't account for fighter jet bodies or turbine blades, I knew there must be a better way.
- Mesh Behaviour and Convergence: without solutions with which to compare I never knew whether I could trust my results.
I made this course with my younger self in mind. It's these things, among other tips and tricks, that gave me the most trouble in practice and which require the most experience/correct techniques to do well. The aim of this course, by its end, is to show you how to do this. There are many specialist topics that we can't cover and to learn CFD to an industry standard (where salaries past $100,000 a year are not unusual) could easily span a PhD and many years experience. Even so, there are a few general skills you will need again and again when you face practical problems in CFD. If you can master these, in my experience, you can pick up a lot of the rest as you go and quickly acquire the skills that are already propelling modern engineering into the future.

I graduated with an MSci in Physics at the University of Birmingham in 2011 and went on to do research in the radiation damage of advanced composites.Studying at the University of Birmingham, I remember my friends from other fields and even outside academia having so much passion for human endeavours, particularly in engineering. I could spot the creative energy of budding engineers and scientists in seconds but, in most cases, they felt like it was just too complicated to do anything with themselves. We’d watch Sci-Fi and play video games and I’d see their passion trying to get out. It always felt like such a shame that so much of the mathematical sciences are taught in so formal and impersonal a way that so few people actually take these subjects at university.That’s why I decided to start making courses on Udemy, to make the creativity and the freedom I experienced learning the physical sciences available to anyone with a burning passion for them.Of course, designing a rocket launch vehicle or a city on the Moon is hard and in many cases irreducibly so but every finished blueprint sent to a billion dollar factory must start out as a few simple lines of highschool level mathematics scribbled on a few sheets of paper.My intention through these courses is to give the many great people I grew up with a way to connect with this beautiful material and to pursue their own dreams and ideas in a practical and mathematically sound way without having to gain a PhD beforehand.I’m humbled and grateful to the countless people who have expressed interest in these projects and, if this sounds good to you, I hope you’ll come along with me in my courses.
