You cannot learn #CFD with #OpenFOAM by Internet searches because they spew incorrect, outdated, biased advice, and context-free AI summaries. Instead, CFD Direct provides OpenFOAM Training with 5 courses spanning 11 days and 900 pages of manuals. cfd.tips/tr26
Our #OpenFOAM Training is back in the classroom because people learn much more there. In person, you can easily ask "why" and, because we produce the code, you get a reliable answer. Unlike with an AI assistant, which doesn't know why. cfd.tips/trng
In the ODE solvers, the default tolerance can now be overridden with the "rowTol" parameter used to filter rows with a very small multiplier in #OpenFOAM-dev github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
As we head towards the end of 2026, now is the time to apply for budget for #OpenFOAM #CFD Training in 2027. Check our web page about the courses we are providing in early 2027 cfd.tips/tv14
People ask which of our #OpenFOAM Training #CFD courses are best for them? The answer is "all of them" as demonstrated by the proportion of our training participants who return to complete all the courses we provide. cfd.tips/trng
Our Productive #CFD #OpenFOAM courses teaches the difficult skill of planning simulations making appropriate assumptions. It uses coded tools to extract diagnostic data to find mistakes and revise assumptions, essential for high quality CFD cfd.tips/tprd
For users of #OpenFOAM in the Americas, we provide our #CFD courses in Chicago. Classroom training is more interactive than online and includes more discussion and social interaction beyond the classroom cfd.tips/tchi
In mesh-to-mesh mapping, new 'multiNearest' extrapolation avoids discontinuties between values when mapping introduces a new connection between regions of mesh in #OpenFOAM-dev github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
We have recently completed a major overhaul of our Programming #CFD course while updating it to #OpenFOAM v14. The course covers C++ and core OpenFOAM classes more deeply and our Updates page provides an overview of new content cfd.tips/tupd
ODE solvers have been optimised with ikj-loop LU decomposition, giving 10x and more speedup for complex chemistry calculations in #OpenFOAM-dev github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
We update our #OpenFOAM Training courses for new features in the latest version of OpenFOAM, so it evolves considerably over time. Our Updates page describes the changes to the training between v8 from 2020 to v14 today cfd.tips/tupd
Numerous academic and government organisations have got us on site to provide #OpenFOAM Training for their staff and partners. See the following link for information on arranging on-site training, our past experience and benefits to you cfd.tips/taos
In the multiphaseEuler solver, a family of models has been added for blending in sub-models in #OpenFOAM-dev github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
The coded file input, e.g. for coded function objects, is an incredibly powerful tool to extract the data you need from #OpenFOAM. We take participants through several coded examples on our Productive #CFD courses cfd.tips/tprd
Our #OpenFOAM Training is back in the classroom because people learn much more there. In person, you can easily ask "why" and, because we produce the code, you get a reliable answer. Unlike with an AI assistant, which doesn't know why. cfd.tips/trng
If you are using #OpenFOAM, Internet searches and AI assistants often regurgitate a lot of outdated, incorrect information scraped from unreliable sources. Our OpenFOAM Training instead gives authoritative advice from people who produce the software. cfd.tips/trng
#OpenFOAM-dev has been updated from using the C++14 Standard to C++17 github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
Our #OpenFOAM Training is the only place to get authoritative advice about how to do #CFD with OpenFOAM. Why? Because we design and produce the software so only we know how it is meant to be used. So sign up for out training. cfd.tips/trng
Added average and weightedAverage expression functions in #OpenFOAM-dev github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
In #OpenFOAM-dev, the boundary() function applied to GeometricField returns a GeometricBoundaryField, used to evaluate and manipulate boundary conditions; boundaryField() returns a list of patchFields on which field algebra can be performed. github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
In the multiphaseEuler solver, it is possible to specify different phase-change models for different size-groups of a population balance in #OpenFOAM-dev github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM…
