This is a special interest group focuses on the use of OpenFoam for solving Marine, Offshore and Coaster Engineering and related problems.

This group aims to promote the use of OpenFoam for general CFD applications, e.g Aerospace, Automobile, Ventilation, Electronic cooling, hydrodynamics(free surface) etc.We also hope to organize a OpeFoam Workshop here in Singapore in 2014.

This is a forum focusing on the use of OF for built environment. Topics for discussion are, but not limited to, HVAC, Green Building, Wind Driven Rain, Fire & Smoke, Pollutants Dispersion, Blast, acoustic, and OF GUI for Building Engineering Simulation.

SIG on modeling of casting processes and solidification in general.

This is a special interest group created initially on the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop in Darmstadt to discuss:- HPC Installation/Compilation/Configuration of OF in HPC environments - Scalability using OF and its tools on large systems - Availability of large test cases to verify such large system installations or other HPC related advances in OF

This group will focus in developing an All-Speed or Mach-uniform multiphase themofludic code using OpenFOAM® as its platform technology. Such development work has been ongoing for a couple of years but now with independence and special focus for Lean Premixed and Prevaporised (LPP) Gas Turbine combustion application.The code utilises a modified 8-equation Saurel-Abgrall (1999) multi-phase and multi-fluid model with a hybrid density-pressure based solver as in Xisto et al (2011).Improvements to attain more accurate EOS to capture some flow features such as flash evaporation of multicomponent fuels (JP8) is underway. A more challenging issue of predicting primary atomisation will be considered soon.

OpenFOAM®® simulations take a significant amount of time leading to higher costs of simulations. GPU technology has a potential to reduce the time.There are a few solutions on the market such as ofgpu or SpeedIT. Which one do you prefer? What are their limitations?Do you think OpenFOAM®® community could benefit from GPU technology?

Numerical simulation of fuel cells using OpenFOAM®

The wind energy SIG is a place for collaborators to share about different topics in wind energy. These include atmospheric boundary layer flows, transition, and modelling wind turbines as well as other topics. Please see our website on the OpenFOAM® wiki for more information: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Sig_WindE

This group is for anybody interested in simulating electrochemical systems such as batteries, fuel cells, capacitors etc. Hopefully we can share some tips on how to solve these highly nonlinear/coupled systems.

All users which use OpenFOAM® for optimization are welcome!

This group is for everyone who is interested in any kind of simulations regarding reciprocating internal combustion engines.

I would love to re-launch the documentation project in order to organize and coordinate community-driven documentation on the OpenFOAM® CFD toolbox.This group is founded in order to collect ideas and suggestions. Please join the discussion!

For people who are working or are interested in the field of multiphase flow with phase change.

Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

This special interest group aims to be a meeting point for users of compressible solvers.

Developing MHD compressible flow solver

Turbulence modeling and simulation is a subject which cuts across all application areas. This SIG provides a forum for addressing issues associated with modeling and simulation of turbulence using RANS, DES, LES, and DNS methods.

Ship Hydro SIG covers all aspects of CFD simulation of ships and ship systems. As a group, it intersects with the Turbomachinery SIG, the Turbulence Modeling SIG, and the Multiphase and Free-Surface SIG.

This is a special interest group covering topics related to aeroacoustics using the OpenFOAM® CFD toolbox.

This group is covering general topics related to chemical reactions and thermodynamic applications. You can use it for general topics and to find people with common interests to found more specialized goups.

The OpenFOAM® Turbomachinery Working Group was initiated at the Second OpenFOAM® Workshop in Zagreb, June 2007.Responsibles: Maryse Page, Martin Beaudoin (Hydro-Québec) and Hakan Nilsson (Chalmers).The group has lots of contributions in the OpenFOAM® Wiki: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Sig_Turbomachinery
