1 YouTube tutorials
Hello everyone!
This is József Nagy here and welcome to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjdgpuxuAxH9BqheyE82Vvw/featured).
Here you can find introductory videos on CFD with OpenFOAM. I will post them on the channel primarily for polymer engeneering students at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria, for the introduction to CFD prior to the start of bachelor or master theses.
The videos contain auxiliary material to the introduction at the Institute of Polymer Injection Moulding and Process Automation (http://www.jku.at/ipim/content/e57040). The videos contain primarily hands on tutorials and only the most basic theory as there are tons and tons of material on the theory of CFD.
Students from other universities and other foamers are welcome to use the videos for their learning purposes. Don't forget to like, share, favorite and comment!
