Background and Description: The use of OpenSource CFD in industry and academia has been growing rapidly the last decade. Many industries and government labs use it as a complement to the proprietary CFD tools, in order to reduce license costs and facilitate the usage of large computational resources. Some industries, and academia, use it because it facilitates the development of new functionalities throughout the entire code, without the limitation of specific modifications through user-defined functions. However, OpenSource CFD tools generally require more knowledge by the user than the proprietary alternatives. This is not necessarily a drawback, since although the proprietary alternatives are easier to use, the user should still have the same knowledge of the underlying methods in order to set up the simulations correctly and to assess the quality of the results. This course covers the basic knowledge that is needed to efficiently use OpenSource software for Computational Fluid Dynamic Applications.
