UCL OpenFOAM Workshop
The 3rd UCL OpenFOAM Workshop was held from the 24th to the 26th of February, 2021. It aimed to help beginners to start using OpenFOAM for their projects, as well as to create a platform for experienced users to collaborate. It was totally free and initiated as a UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme. The workshop provided two types of sessions: (a) cutting-edge research in this area, which focuses to promote knowledge exchange (b) hands-on tutorials, which helps new users to quickly understand and use OpenFOAM. This workshop has exclusively won the Research-led Initiative Award of UCL, three times, in 2018, 2019 and 2020. It is managed by Luofeng Huang, Daniela Benites, Tom Smith, and Nicolaos Charalambous.
This Youtube channel aims to publish the recordings of the workshop thus enabling wider and long-term studies :)
