GENERAL: 

FROM: Mirco Magnini, University of Nottingham, 18/11/2022
SUBJECT: Self-paced open-access OpenFOAM training for beginners
DETAILS: A self-paced OpenFOAM training course is available open-access,
and covers the fundamentals of CFD simulations using OpenFOAM from
solving simple heat conduction problems, to fluid flow and two-phase
multiphase flows using interface capturing methods, also covering
mini-lectures on more advanced topics. The training is arranged in a
Virtual Machine that already includes a working installation of
OpenFOAM, and provides test cases and a slideshow with all the
tutorials. All the material is available here [1].
