DESCRIPTION:Increasing computing power and established numeric
 al modelling techniques drive the numerical modell
 ing in continuum mechanics beyond the basics of st
 ructural analysisand fluid flow. Software implemen
 tation of complex and coupled physical poses chall
 enges beyond the current generation of simulation 
 tools. A new\, flexible and efficient model implem
 entation framework is needed. One possible answer 
 is object orientation. OpenFOAM (Field Operation A
 nd Manipulation) is an open source object-oriented
  numerical simulation library aimed at complex phy
 sics modelling and will be described in this semin
 ar. \n\nOpenFOAM handles continuum models by mimic
 king partial differential equations in software. P
 olyhedral Finite Volume discretisation is implemen
 ted in operator form (e.g. temporal derivatives\, 
 gradient\, divergence\, source and sink terms)\, a
 nd operators are combined to form equations. Effic
 iency and elegance in implementation is achieved t
 hrough layered development and extensive code re-u
 se\, where various components (e.g. mesh handling\
 , field algebra and calculus\, discretisation\, li
 near  algebra and solvers\, dynamic meshing etc.) 
 are developed and validated in isolation.\n\nAuxil
 iary tools support the  basic  solvers\, providing
  pre- and post-processing interfaces\, dynamic mes
 h handling\, real material properties\, massive  p
 arallelism\, Lagrangian particle model and other t
 ools present in a modern CFD solver. The library i
 s completed with a suite of physical models\, cove
 ring incompressible\, compressible\, multi-phase a
 nd free surface fluid flow\, a suite of 30 RANS an
 d LES turbulence models\, combustion\, spray and i
 n-cylinder simulations\, structural analysis\, ele
 ctromagnetics and fluid-structure interaction.\n\n
 Today\, OpenFOAM is a leading Open Source CFD tool
 \, rapidly expanding in the research community and
  among industrial users. The talk will be complete
 d with examples of application of OpenFOAM in flui
 d flow and structural analysis and a review of con
 tributing organisations\, active research areas an
 d future development plans.
