OpenFOAM Tutorials - Beginner tutorials

 

Hereafter, you will find a few beginner tutorials to help you get started with OpenFOAM®.  Each tutorial case is composed of a set of slides, with a detailed explanation of all the steps that you need to follow to run the case, and a compressed file containing everything needed to run the case (including a README.FIRST file with the instructions on how to run the case).

A final word of caution, these tutorials were designed just for didactical or recreational use.  Do not use them as standard practices, benchmarking or for validation purposes.
