All participants of the first year of the NUMAP-FOAM-Br Summer School are invited to join the group!Todos os participantes do primeiro ano da Escola de Verão Brasileira em Problemas Numéricos Aplicados usando OpenFOAM®® (NUMAP-FOAM-Br) estão convidados!

This region includes the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

The working group is interested in the development of approximate Riemann solvers for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws. Riemann solver is a numerical method used to solve a Riemann problem. They are heavily used in computational fluid dynamics and computational magnetohydrodynamics.

Working Group for interFoam solver (sub-group of the SIG on Multiphase Flows).If anyone in the community has a problem with interFoam & would like to get solution for it, can join here and post their problems.Results will be published in this group and on meetings,e.g., at the Local User Group meeting "Stammtisch" in Germany.

Local User Group for the midwest region of the USA.

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

Diese Gruppe soll den Beschlüssen vom OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch United (Kick-Off) am 23./24.2.2011 an der TU Dortmund zur Zukunft des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch United Rechnung tragen.Der kick-off des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch 'united' war ein erfreulicher Erfolg und es gab einige Beschlüsse zum weiteren Verlauf des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch 'united':In der Diskussionsrunde 'Stammtisch United - Zukunft des gemeinsamen Stammtisch / Organisation?' hat sich ein positive Stimmungsbild ergeben. Es ist beschlossen worden, einen Stammtisch United im nächsten Jahr wieder stattfinden zu lassen.Eine Anbindung an ProcessNet wird weiterhin favorisiert und kann bei besserer 'Vermarktung' des Stammtisches zu einer größeren Teilnehmerzahl führen.Ein Turnus von 1x/Jahr für den Stammtisch United wurde von allen befürwortet.Form und Art der Veranstaltung wird beibehalten wie bei allen Stammtischen.In dieser Gruppe soll alles rund um diesen jährlichen Stammtisch diskutiert werden.

All users which use OpenFOAM® for optimization are welcome!

At the Stammtisch United at Dortmund 2011, we noticed, that it is not clear, if the current version has an adequate "automatic" wall function, or if there are better solutions. Within this group we want to test wall functions and exchange suitable test cases.

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!

The LTFD research group is situated at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (COPPE/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group interest is on CFD code development using OpenFOAM® core. The development of codes follow the main LTFD research areas: Multiphase Flow, Population Balance & CFD, Viscoelastic Fluid Flow, High Performance Computing.

The working group focuses on the development of a robust and versatile multiphase solve based on the Euler-Euler multi-fluid approach.Current applications of interest are the simulation of bubble columns and dense gas-particle flows, with granular phases described by means of the kinetic theory approach and frictional models.Starting point of the development is the existing twoPhaseEulerFoam solver, which will be modified to improve its robustness and then generalized to deal with an arbitrary number of dispersed phases. Further development will include the addition of quadrature-based methods to deal with particle/bubble size distribution.

The founding of this group was discussed and decided on the OpenFOAM® Stammtisch Germany 'Mitte' on September 24th, 2010, in the 'hybrid RANS/LES' bof session.The aim of this working group is to get users and developers interested in Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) together and achieve a correct DES implementation in OpenFOAM® and a common understanding of the method.Furthermore, the already established contacts, working groups and results required a common platform to be able to focus on our goals.Finally, testcases, best-practice guidelines and an improved documentation are needed.
