OpenFOAM Lid-Driven CFD Course-Preview

Course Highlights

Price: 50 $

Course Overview

Master one of the most fundamental benchmark problems in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) — the Lid-Driven Cavity Flow — using OpenFOAM. This course provides a step-by-step practical approach to understanding and simulating cavity flow, a classic problem widely used to study vortex formation, boundary conditions, and Reynolds number effects in fluid dynamics.

You will learn how to set up the complete simulation workflow in OpenFOAM, including geometry creation, mesh generation using blockMesh, boundary condition setup, solver execution with icoFoam, and post-processing in ParaView. The course also covers convergence behavior, flow visualization, and velocity profile analysis at different Reynolds numbers.

By the end of this course, you will have both theoretical understanding and hands-on CFD experience to confidently simulate benchmark fluid flow problems in OpenFOAM and apply the same workflow to more advanced CFD cases.
