Product Overview

This tutorial guides you through the programming of a custom CFD solver in OpenFOAM, making it an essential resource for users aiming to expand OpenFOAM’s default capabilities. In this video, you will learn how to implement the energy equation into the existing pimpleFoam solver and simulate planar Couette flow to validate your development.

You’ll define a new variable (temperature), incorporate a custom PDE, and modify the solver structure to include thermal effects in incompressible turbulent flow simulations—ideal for advanced CFD users with some C++ experience.
