About Course

Product Overview

This training covers the simulation of fluid flow through porous media using OpenFOAM, a powerful open-source CFD toolbox. You’ll learn how to define a porous zone within your domain and apply the Darcy–Forchheimer model using fvOptions. This simulation approach is widely used in hydrogeology, filtration systems, petroleum engineering, and environmental studies. The tutorial builds your understanding of how flow behaves through materials like sponge, sand, or wood.
