OpenFOAM & HELYX-OS for Industrial CFD ApplicationsTraining Course

For Whom?

The training is intended for engineers in-

volved with Computational Fluid Dynamics

(CFD) and related flow and heat transfer

problems in industry

Goals

Getting started to use the OpenFOAM

framework

Learn to use HELYX-OS as a front-end for

OpenFOAM

2 OpenFOAM and HELYX-OS for Industrial CFD Applications

This OpenFOAM/HELYX-OS training course is to

achieve the following goals:

Getting started and become familiar with the

OpenFOAM framework, commonly used

solvers and relevant industrial examples

Learn to use the open-source Graphical

User Interface HELYX-OS as the native front-

end for OpenFOAM

Content

During this 2-day training, the attendants will be

introduced to the open-source CFD technology

OpenFOAM using HELYX-OS. The most com-

monly used CFD solver capabilities of Open-

FOAM will be explored, combined with an in-

depth look in the structure of the Computational

Fluid Dynamics Library, which forms the base of

all OpenFOAM fluid flow solvers. The open-sour-

ce native GUI HELYX-OS, developed by Engys Ltd.

will be used extensively.

Using hands-on practical sessions, you will learn

to setup, run and post-process cases which are

relevant to realistic industrial applications. We

will be using the standard mesh generator avai-

lable in OpenFOAM throughout the training. Ad-

ditionally, the enhanced mesh generator develo-

ped by ENGYS and provided with HELYX will be

demonstrated as a valid meshing technology on

par with commercial CFD for industrial applica-

tions.

Interactive training

The training is a good mix of short presentations

provided by the trainer, illustrated by means of

digital slides including theoretical and practi-

cal background as well as hands-on cases and

examples. The participant will use HELYX-OS to

pre-process, model and solve relevant industrial

applications in OpenFOAM related to different

engineering fields like incompressible/compres-

sible flows, heat transfer and multiphase flows.

An overview of the post-processing capabilities

will be described as well as using Paraview, the

general vizualization tool used from within Open-

FOAM and HELYX-OS.

For Whom?

The training is intended for engineers involved in

fluid flows and heat transfer problems in industry

that are considering the use of OpenFOAM. The

The training OpenFOAM and HELYX-OS for Industrial CFD Applications is a 2-day training course

3OpenFOAM and HELYX-OS for Industrial CFD Applications

participants will be introduced to fluid dynamics

and corresponding CFD methods and solvers

that are available in OpenFOAM. The front-end

software package HELYX-OS will be introdu-

ced and extensively used to model and analyze

industrial case studies in different fields like

incompressible/compressible flows, heat trans-

fer and multiphase flows among other topics.

Basic theoretical background on flow and heat

transfer mechanisms is preferable. The course

language is English.

Results

The participants will learn to model, solve and

post-process relevant industrial applications

using OpenFOAM and HELYX-OS. You will also

obtain experience in using HELYX-OS to use the

standard mesh generator available in Open-

FOAM. After completing the course, the partici-

pant will be able to:

Understand the basics of Computational

Fluid Dynamics

Model and mesh generation of complex

geometries using OpenFOAM and HELYX-

OS

Use OpenFOAM solvers on industrial

applications related to a variety of fields like

fluid flows, heat transfer and multiphase

problems among other topics

Post-process the results from within Open-

FOAM and HELYX-OS and using the visuali-

zation toolkit Paraview

The trainer

The experienced consultants of Dynaflow Re-

search Group (DRG) will conduct the training.

The DRG trainers aim for effective practical tech-

nical solutions based on a good understanding of

the theory behind these problems. All technical

consultants work with these technical issues on

a day-to-day basis in their client work. They have

up to 10 years experience in using OpenFOAM

are constantly challenged to translate theory into

practical solutions.

Duration and group-size

The duration of the training is 2 full days ( 8-9

hours per day). The minimum group-size is 6

participants and the maximum group-size is 10

participants. The training will be organized at the

DRG office or upon request at the customer lo-

cation.

Costs

The training will cost EUR 1.200,= per person

excluding VAT. Training material and a bootable

USB disk will be provided containing a working

HELYX-OS/OpenFOAM installation together with

working examples.

We provide engineering consulting services in all

aspects of design and analysis for the Petro- che-

mical industry. Our work often requires a multi-

disciplinary approach where we combine exper-

tise in fluid flow behaviour, dynamic oscillations,

FEM and stress analysis with sophisticated analy-

sis software to predict system performances.

Training

DRG offers a wide range of training courses such

as software training, fiberglass training, dyna-

mics and stress training. Most of these training

courses are offered on a regular basis during
