ESI group organises an annual OpenFOAM User Conference to interact with users and developers across the OpenFOAM community and share knowledge. Our paper ‘Large strain solid dynamics in OpenFOAM’ was selected as the ‘Best Student Paper’ at the ‘4th Annual OpenFOAM User Conference 2016’ held in Cologne, Germany.[Manuscript] [Conference webpage]
I recently attended the CISM-ECCOMAS summer school on ‘Computational Fluid-structure Interaction’ at International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine, Italy. The course was coordinated by Prof. Charbel Farhat and Prof. Wolfgang Wall. During the course, I presented a summary of my PhD work to the audience.[Course webpage] [Presentation]
What is OpenFOAM? OpenFOAM is free and open source software package distributed by OpenCFD Ltd and the OpenFOAM Foundation. It is an extensive C++ library which is used to solve computational continuum mechanic problems using the Finite Volume Method. Although, primarily developed for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), OpenFOAM has an…
