Introduction

The international participants are requested to read the instructions and payment guidelines before filling the Google form for OpenFOAM workshop registration

OpenFOAM (Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation) is an open source CFD software package developed by the OpenFOAM team at ESI and distributed by the OpenFOAM Foundation. OpenFOAM is a CFD toolbox, written in C++ and these C++ libraries are used to create executables, known as applications. The OpenFOAM distribution contains numerous solvers and utilities covering a wide range of CFD problems.

The FOSSEE project at IIT Bombay (https://fossee.in) has been promoting OpenFOAM, and other FLOSS, such as Scilab, Python, DWSIM, eSim, Osdag, OpenModelica, R, Drupal and Linux, and open source hardware, such as Arduino and OpenPLC. FOSSEE is also funded by NMEICT, MHRD.
