Aitor Juandó very thorough course
although it is a bit messy to repurpose tutorials, under my pov, at least it gets you hands on otherwise you cannot finish the exercises.

One person found this helpful. Noel Rebu Best and Most Enjoyable OpenFOAM Course Yet
One of the most enjoyable courses I've done in a while! It clearly explained how the Navier–Stokes equations change for VOF, Euler–Euler, DPM, and ETFM. The pumping tank simulation tied theory to real-world application. Highly recommended for anyone exploring multiphase CFD in OpenFOAM.
