that are considering the use of OpenFOAM. The
OpenFOAM and HELYX-OS for Industrial CFD Applications
participants will be introduced to fluid dynamics

and corresponding CFD methods and solvers
that are available in OpenFOAM. The front-end
software package HELYX-OS will be introduced and extensively used to model and analyze
industrial case studies in different fields like
incompressible/compressible flows, heat transfer and multiphase flows among other topics.
Basic theoretical background on flow and heat
transfer mechanisms is preferable. The course
language is English.
The participants will learn to model, solve and

post-process relevant industrial applications
using OpenFOAM and HELYX-OS. You will also
obtain experience in using HELYX-OS to use the
standard mesh generator available in OpenFOAM. After completing the course, the participant will be able to:
Understand the basics of Computational
nical solutions based on a good understanding of

the theory behind these problems. All technical
consultants work with these technical issues on
a day-to-day basis in their client work. They have
up to 10 years experience in using OpenFOAM

Duration and group-size

The duration of the training is 2 full days ( 8-9
hours per day). The minimum group-size is 6
participants and the maximum group-size is 10
participants. The training will be organized at the
DRG office or upon request at the customer location.
