Welcome Message
OpenFOAM® is the leading free, open source software for computational fluid dynamics, and other computational science and engineering. The annual OpenFOAM® Workshop is the most important and influential forum for researchers and users from universities, institutes as well as industries to promote collaborative activities and share recent advances on OpenFOAM® in many areas. It is an attractive community event opening to scientists, scholars, engineers, students, users and contributors, regardless of their background and avocations. In 2006, the 1st OpenFOAM® Workshop (OFW1) was held in Zagreb, Croatia. Since then it was held every year successively in Zagreb, Milan, Montréal, Gothenburg, Pennsylvania, Darmstadt, Jeju, Zagreb, Ann Arbor, Guimarães and Exeter, respectively. The coming 13th OpenFOAM® Workshop (OFW13) will be held in Shanghai, China, on June 24-29, 2018, and hosted and organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University(SJTU), and co-organized by Journal of Hydrodynamics, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Ship Engineering, and State Key Laboratory of Navigation and Safety Technology. The event includes community-led training, conference presentations and posters, and mini-symposium (MS) of community day to bring together developers, modellers and users of all versions of the code for exchanging ideas and discussing future directions.
On behalf of the OpenFOAM® Workshop Committee, Shanghai Jiao Tong University would like to invite you to attend the 13th OpenFOAM® Workshop, which will be held from June 24th to 29th, 2018 in Shanghai, China.
