Welcome to the openfoam_intro_ES wiki!

Here yo will finf the documentation for the different course sections, includin the documentation for the cases in OpenFOAM and the Jupyter Notebooks.

This workshop has two sessions with two parts each one. Below is a summary of each session with their respective learning objectives:

Session 1, Part 1: Introduction to the Finite Volume Method

1. Understand the importance of computational fluid dynamics in Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering, and Biotechnology.
2. Comprehend the finite volume method and its general usefulness.
3. Apply finite volume discretization to a initial and boundary value problem in one-dimension.

Session 1, Part 2: OpenFOAM for Solving Forced Convection

1. Introduction to OpenFOAM and its workflow.
2. Set up an representative OpenFOAM case of unsteady three-dimensional heat transfer in a fluid flow system.
3. Run an OpenFOAM solver from the command line.
4. Visualize the simulation results using ParaView.

Session 2, Part 1: Post-Processing 3-D Results in OpenFOAM

1. Generate explanatory figures of the relevant transport phenomena using ParaView filters.
2. Write a functionObject code to calculate quantities of engineering interest.

Session 2, Part 2: OpenFOAM Workflow for a Multicomponent Evaporation Case

1. Apply an OpenFOAM workflow to solve an existing tutorial on multiphase flow with phase change.
2. Modify an existing OpenFOAM case using the relevant dictionaries.
