Keynote Speakers
Johan Roenby
(Roskilde University, Stromning, Denmark)
Johan Roenby is Associate Professor in Mathematics at Roskilde University in Denmark, where he develops numerical methods for interfacial flows. He has developed the isoAdvector method, a geometric Volume-of-Fluid method used in the interIsoFoam solver of OpenFOAM. He also runs the company STROMNING, primarily working with CFD for floating offshore wind, and recently releasing a new solver, FloatStepper, for robust floating body simulations in OpenFOAM.

Lilla Koloszar
(von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Belgium)
Lilla Koloszar is a research expert on liquid metal and industrial flows at the von Karman Institute of Fluid Dynamics (VKI), Belgium. She has received her Ph.D. in applied mechanics from Université Libre de Bruxelles and holds a diploma course in fluid dynamics from VKI, where she has spent more than 15 years as a researcher. Her main research interests are numerical fluid dynamics, turbulence and its modeling, and liquid metal flows. She plays an important role in the diffusion of OpenFOAM in the French and Belgian communities, organizing courses in the VKI, as well as quaterly open seminars.

Beginner´s course setup
You have decided to follow the beginner’s course track at FOAM@Iberia: this guide aims at describing all the steps of the course setup, so that you are fully ready to start playing with OpenFOAM on the 3rd of October!
We will cover the installation of various essential tools that will enable you to follow the courses effectively: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Visual Studio Code (VSCode), Notepad++, ParaView v5.13, and OpenFOAM v2406.
For each step, we recommend you to check the nice video tutorials that were prepared for FOAM@Iberia2023. You can safely follow the instructions, downloading the latest versions of the different softwares (OpenFOAM v2406, Paraview v5.13).
If you prefer to follow a detailed list of instructions, you can download and use this file:
If you are facing any dificulties along the setup process, please contact with Manuel (manuel.gonzalez@udc.es) or Sarath (sarath.karumathil@udc.es).
0 – Initial steps
First of all, open Windows PowerShell as Administrator and run the following command:
>> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
Windows 11 users should also run the following command in PowerShell as Administrator:
>> DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V
Note that after each command you will have to restart the system, or more likely it will restart automatically.
To finalize this step, open again PowerShell as Administrator and run the following command:
>> wsl –set-default -version 2
Be careful when copying-pasting the double hyphens (–), they might appear as a single long line.
1 – Install Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL)
Commands typed in the video for copy-paste:
>> wsl —install -d Ubuntu
2 – Install Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
Follow the instructions at: https://code.visualstudio.com/
3 – Install NotePad ++
Follow the instructions at: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/
4 – Install Paraview v5.13
Follow the instructions at: https://www.paraview.org/download/
5 – OpenFOAM v2406
Follow the instructions to install the pre-compiled version: https://www.openfoam.com/download/openfoam-installation-on-linux
6 – Install Salome
Download version v9.13.0 of Salome for Windows10 (or Linux, if you are Linux user): https://www.salome-platform.org/?page_id=2430
Run the executable for the installation.
You are now ready for the OpenFOAM Beginner’s Course !!!!
