Welcome to advanced OF-Campus 7.0

Welcome

Tian Building Engineering, Dr. József Nagy are organizing an advanced green building engineering training school online (from Singapore and Austria) with the goal to enable participants to start their own more sophisticated and involved Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations in OpenFOAM®.

If you are interested, see more information and the registration form below or contact us at

info@of-campus.org

Objective

to provide participants with an overview of the use of CFD technology in the context of green building engineering and mechanical engineering problems
to train participants with CFD modelling techniques and relevant software skills for more challenging problem settings
to understand and model tree canopy, individual trees, solar heat load, contamination (e.g. COVID) and gas dispersion problems

The participants will obtain the knowledge and the experience needed to start their own advanced CFD projects. They will also be able to test the latest CFD Addon of Tian Bulding Engineering's Software (BIM-HVAC tool) on their own laptops, which offers amongst several features the possibility to run CFD simulations with OpenFOAM® and postprocessing of OpenFOAM® cases.

Certificates of participation will be issued to all participants.

Limited seating is available, so please make sure to reserve your seat today.
