Applied OpenFOAM training, taught by practitioners.
Two-day introductory and applied OpenFOAM courses, delivered in our classrooms or at your premises. Courses are taught by engineers who use these tools on production projects, so the material is built around the problems your team will actually meet.
1 · What the service covers
Every session is workstation-based: participants run cases themselves rather than watching a demonstration, and leave with the case files they built.
| CAPABILITY | WHAT IT MEANS IN PRACTICE |
|---|---|
| Introductory course | Case structure, meshing with the standard utilities, boundary conditions, running and monitoring, and basic post-processing. |
| Applied course | Turbulence model selection, mesh quality diagnosis, convergence troubleshooting and result interpretation on realistic geometry. |
| Sector-tailored content | Course cases drawn from your sector — external aerodynamics, HVAC, dispersion, marine or thermal — rather than generic tutorials. |
| Workflow and automation | Scripted case setup, parameter sweeps and batch running, for teams that will use simulation routinely. |
| Post-course support | A defined support window after training so early independent work does not stall on a solvable setup problem. |
2 · How a project runs
We establish the current experience level and the problems the team needs to solve, and adjust the course content and pace accordingly.
Software, cases and workstation setup checked before day one so the class time is spent on engineering, not installation.
Case anatomy, meshing and boundary conditions, with participants building and running a complete case themselves.
A realistic sector case worked end to end, including mesh quality diagnosis, convergence troubleshooting and result interpretation.
Course files, reference notes and a support window for questions arising from the first independent projects.
3 · Typical engagements
Bringing an engineering team from no OpenFOAM experience to running and interpreting their own cases in two days.
Scheduled courses for individual engineers from different companies, run at our Athens classroom.
A course built entirely around one application area, using representative geometry from that sector.
Training delivered alongside a consulting project so your team can maintain and extend the delivered simulation themselves.
4 · What you receive
Courses are priced per cohort for in-house delivery, or per seat for open enrolment. In-house training is frequently combined with a consulting project handover.
All work is carried out by CompFlow personnel at company premises under strict bidirectional non-disclosure agreements, on in-house computing facilities including a 120-core cluster. Engagement is project-based (predefined deliverables and deadlines) or yearly (a set number of consultancy hours).
