Description
This course offers a focused introduction to compressible flow solvers in OpenFOAM, with special emphasis on rhoCentralFoam and rhoPimpleFoam. Participants will gain both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in handling high-speed and low-speed compressible flow regimes. The course bridges density-based and pressure-based approaches, illustrating how each solver addresses different flow conditions through guided examples and simulations. The course combines video lectures, guided exercises, and case study files to enable participants to explore solver performance and stability through practical examples.
What You Will Learn
- Fundamentals of compressible flow equations and their numerical implementation in OpenFOAM.
- Working principles of rhoCentralFoam (density-based solver) and rhoPimpleFoam (pressure-based solver).
- Techniques for setting up, running, and analyzing compressible flow simulations.
- Understanding solver selection criteria for high-speed, low-speed, and transonic regimes.
Intended Learners
- Engineering students, researchers, and professionals working in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or related fields.
- Individuals interested in understanding compressible flow physics and their numerical modeling in OpenFOAM.
- Users with basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and numerical methods.
- Participants familiar with OpenFOAM basics who want to advance their skills in compressible flow simulations.
- Those seeking to apply rhoCentralFoam and rhoPimpleFoam to real-world high-speed or low-speed flow problems.
Must-haves
- Should be capable of independently executing OpenFOAM simulations on a local system.
