Dr Darrin Stephens and Guest expert Dr Aleksandar Jemcov 
will deliver this two-day course. Participants in the course 
will learn the layout of the OpenFOAM library, how to copy 
and compile a solver. In addition, introduction to C++ 
programming language, creation of the new turbulence model 
as a part of the existing OpenFOAM library with curvature 
correction. Lastly, the ability to read the OpenFOAM library 
without fear, removing the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) 
that grips most new users. 

The methodology employed consists of a series of lectures 
that provide a general understanding of OpenFOAM topics 
followed by hands-on work. This training focuses on the 
OpenFOAM Foundation version 2.2.x of OpenFOAM. 

Participants will be able to customise top level solvers in 
OpenFOAM after this training course.
