The Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, group at FOSSEE, promotes the Free and OpenSource Software (FOSS) OpenFOAM. This endeavor of FOSSEE OpenFOAM, promoted by MOE and NITI AAYOG, helps students, faculty, and industry become better skilled, along the lines of the ATMA NIRBHAR initiative. The CFD-OpenFOAM project is currently supported by the CSR funds from The New India Assurance Company Ltd, 87 MG Road, Fort, Mumbai- 400001 for a period of 1 (one) year from December 2020. For queries related to the activities to promote and learn OpenFOAM, please write to contact-cfd[at]fossee[dot]in.

Overview

What is OpenFOAM and CFD?

OpenFOAM (Open source Field Operation And Manipulation) is a free/libre and open source toolbox which is used in academia and industry to solve continuum mechanics problems, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to solve and analyse problems that involve fluid flow

You can learn OpenFOAM through Spoken Tutorials.
