2026: Bordeaux

Simple meshes, running in parallel, basic post-processing. Illustrated with an internal or external aerodynamics case.

During this workshop, we will see how to impose a parabolic velocity profile on an "inlet" patch using C++ source code inlined in the 0.orig/U file. The source code will be provided along with a detailed line-by-line explanation.

Following the same principle as a programmed boundary condition, OpenFOAM allows you to define programmed post-processing via codeStream inside a functionObject, directly within the system/controlDict file. In this example, we will see how to create a cutting plane across an isosurface and output the points of this cutting plane to the postProcessing/ directory. The example focuses on extracting the gas-liquid interface in a VoF simulation of a liquid film flowing down a surface. The source code will be provided along with a detailed line-by-line explanation.

Basic operating principles of snappyHexMesh and presentation of various features illustrated on one or more simple geometries (gap refinement, buffer layer, mesh shrinker, multipass layer addition, etc.).

Step by step, we will add the heat equation to the interFoam solver while accounting for the Boussinesq approximation. We will apply the solver to a two-layer Rayleigh-Bénard case. The test case will be provided.

Discover the advanced rendering features offered by ParaView for post-processing your simulations. We will explore ray-tracing rendering techniques, PBR rendering, the material editor, and export features.

Automate your post-processing with ParaView's Python interface! We will see how to use ParaView-Python to load data, inspect it, create filters, and export results, as well as the GUI tools that make this scripting easier.
