Hello. I'm ANSYS Fluent / CFX user. I've postponed OpenFOAM for too long. I'm just amazed how straight forward it is to setup a case from scratch, run it and post process it in Paraview. Thank you for the this course. It is very useful for either experienced CFD users and beginners.

Thanks for your video contributions! I've always worked with CFX, but due to a job-change I need to learn OpenFoam. I like the open character, feels like you're closer to the underlying governing equations, as compared to the more black-box approach of commercial CFD software.

Working through the video's, no problems as of yet :)

This is a very helpful video. I was trying to follow the tutorials provided by OpenFOAM with minimal success, but this has gotten me on the right path. Much appreciated.

Thank you, Jozsef, for putting together these tutorial videos. I've been interested in CFD and OpenFOAM from 2008 when I first started looking into it. Although I managed the open cavity example, I couldn't get beyond that. Until now that is !

Detailed and helpful video for beginners. Thanks for sharing knowledge. Kudos mate. Would be even better if HD version is available. A bit hard to read from 360p.

[samy]

Your tutorials are great mate! I cannot thank you enough for them. Take care

[JZ]

Congratulations and thank you!
Your tutorial helped me a lot to run my first OpenFOAM simulation and to get a shallow understanding of what is going on

[saragiancaterino]

A little help please :) How can I download the mesh files from Github in .msh format? I only manage to download a .txt file! Am I missing something? OpenFoam is not reading the txt file! Thank you so much in advance!
