Basic information

This is the official homepage of the PhD course CFD with OpenSource Software. It contains links to the on-going and past courses, and to the published proceedings (collection of tutorials) that are the outcome of the course each year. If you are not attending the course, but find the homepage useful, please write me a couple of words (to hakan.nilsson@chalmers.se) that help me argue that this way of working is acknowledged.

Since 2021, the course consists of two courses (click links for more information):

1. Basic Usage of OpenFOAM, 2 ECTS

2. CFD with OpenSource Software, 7.5 ECTS

The first course is a prerequisite for the second course. There is a maximum number of participants in both courses, and passing the first course is not a guarantee to get a seat in the second course. I will pick the students that are most likely to follow instructions, follow deadlines, work independently, share knowledge, and deliver high quality. There is also an opportunity for the students to get a first experience of the work required in these courses, and a chance to decide to only complete the first course.

The course is open and free of charge to PhD students from anywhere. All the course material is available at the course homepages and it is of course free to learn from that material without enrolling the course (without getting any certificate). The participants only have additional access to assignments, supervised project work, and will get a certificate after completion.

Literature and links: It is not required to buy any book for the course. You should be fine with the lecture notes and Internet resources.

Accommodation (for on-site courses)
Map for lunches (for on-site course) - not arranged by the course (there is a restaurant in the same building).

Award

I am honored to have received the “OpenFOAM community contribution award” during “The 3^rd UCL OpenFOAM Workshop”, 24^th February 2021, with the motivation:

“He has created a free OpenFOAM course at the Chalmers University of Technology. His course is totally free and open for worldwide PhD students. He spent enormous hours preparing and delivering the course, every year since 2007. The course covers deep knowledge of various CFD topics and has practically helped many junior researchers to solve their problems using OpenFOAM. He challenged his students to make a new OpenFOAM function or solver before graduate, which made some of them become pioneering young leaders who continue contributing CFD community in an opensource manner.”

The selection process was (a) nominated by audiences, (b) recommended by UCL OpenFOAM Workshop community (c) approved by international OpenFOAM Workshop community.

A recording is available at https://youtu.be/IYNOZPVl9X8. It starts with a description of the award. I get the award at 3:10, and it continues to 10:45. After that the award is give also to another person. Note that I have asked them to donate the prize money (£200) to UNHCR.

2022

I will not start thinking about the 2022 course until the 2021 course is finished. I will start a new list of interested in December. There is a maximum number of participants, and the course is usually full before March. Meanwhile, have a look at the link to information about the course(s) above.
