Course Description
This course is designed for a complete beginner to OpenFOAM or even Linux. We can guarantee you that by the end of this course, you will be very much familiar with the Linux environment, OpenFOAM structures, setting up cases, meshing using snappy hex mesh, running in parallel, post-processing with ParaView, and running any medium to advance level CFD problems using OpenFOAM. All your assignments and quizzes will be carefully evaluated by the instructors and adequate feedback will be given for improvement.
Meet the Instructors

- Do I get a certificate?
Yes, when you finish all the lessons and the corresponding quizzes/assignments you will gain the course completion certificate with the date of completion. - Do I need a powerful workstation/computer to learn this course?
No, a normal laptop with 4 or 8GB RAM and a decent processor (i3) is good enough for this course. - What if I don’t understand some portion or need to clarify some doubts?
We will support you through emails and zoom meetings/discussion sessions to clear all doubts and questions - Should I know the programming of any other CFD software to learn this course?
No, you don’t need. - Is there any prerequisite?
The basic knowledge in fluid mechanics and CFD is required to learn OpenFOAM. If you feel you need to refresh the basics of CFD, you can enroll in our CFD foundation course and if you buy it along with OpenFOAM you will get direct 50% off. - I don’t have a Linux machine, but windows, can I use it to learn OpenFOAM?
yes, we will teach you how to install the required software to run OpenFOAM in Windows.

A methodically designed course to build concepts step-by-step from basic to advanced level. This one course is best suited for someone just starting with openFOAM and wishes to formally introduced to the ocean of knowledge associated with it. I liked the fact that assignment submission is mandatory.

Every assignments helps to understand each and every functional options with the help of step by step explanation which was quite excellent. The tutorials helps to gain deeper insight of OpenFoam software. This is a well structured course and I highly recommend this course for beginners and whoever new to open source software. Thank you so much Dr Sandeep and Dr Baris for this Excellent course.
Mert Erdogan
When it comes to learning openfoam, process is very slow due to low user interface experience (most probably stemming from linux environment), when compared to other commercial tools. This course is exactly what you need for boosted & comprehensive learning of openfoam.
CHRISTOPHER S
In my opinion, this is one of the best courses for OpenFoam, particularly for those who are new to the software. The instructor, Dr. Baris, provides clear and concise explanations of the key concepts and features of OpenFoam, making it easy to follow along even if you have no prior experience with the software.

This course fulfilled my expectations more than I expected. Instructions were clear and detailed. The homeworks led me to learn features out of the course's scope. I look forward to taking the advanced level of the same course in the future.
Thanks for the feedback. A small correction here. The lectures are based on the ESI version and I guess you were using the foundation version
