Workshops & Training
Hands-on training in computational fluid dynamics, OpenFOAM and high-performance computing for students and early-career researchers.
Highlight · Autumn school
UKACM & GACM Autumn School 2025: Open-Source Codes for High-Performance Computing
Dr Chandan Bose organised and taught the OpenFOAM day of this free, online autumn school run by the UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM) and the German Association for Computational Mechanics (GACM), 29 September – 2 October 2025. Together with Dr Emad Tandis (Aston University), Prof. Philip Cardiff (University College Dublin) and Dr Ivan Batistic (University of Zagreb), he led sessions on computational fluid and solid dynamics with OpenFOAM, from a first CFD simulation and custom solver development to stress analysis of flexible structures and full fluid-structure interaction simulations with the solids4foam toolbox.
