Invited speakers Visitors
This is the official homepage of the PhD course CFD with OpenSource Software. It contains links to the on-going and past courses, and to the published proceedings (collection of tutorials) that are the outcome of the course each year. If you are not attending the course, but find the homepage useful, please write me a couple of words (to [email protected] ) that help me argue that this way of working is acknowledged.
Since 2021, the course consists of two courses (click links for more information):
1. Basic Usage of OpenFOAM , 2 ECTS
2. CFD with OpenSource Software, 7.5 ECTS
The first course is a prerequisite for the second course. There is a maximum number of participants in both courses, and passing the first course is not a guarantee to get a seat in the second course. I will pick the students that are most likely to follow instructions, follow deadlines, work independently, share knowledge, and deliver high quality. There is also an opportunity for the students to get a first experience of the work required in these courses, and a chance to decide to only complete the first course.
The course is open and free of charge to PhD students from anywhere. All the course material is available at the course homepages and it is of course free to learn from that material without enrolling the course (without getting any certificate). The participants only have additional access to assignments, supervised project work, and will get a certificate after completion.
Literature and links : It is not required to buy any book for the course. You should be fine with the lecture notes and Internet resources.
Accommodation (for on-site courses) Map for lunches (for on-site course) - not arranged by the course (there is a restaurant in the same building).

I am honored to have received the “ OpenFOAM community contribution award ” during “The 3 rd UCL OpenFOAM Workshop”, 24 th February 2021, with the motivation:
“He has created a free OpenFOAM course at the Chalmers University of Technology. His course is totally free and open for worldwide PhD students. He spent enormous hours preparing and delivering the course, every year since 2007. The course covers deep knowledge of various CFD topics and has practically helped many junior researchers to solve their problems using OpenFOAM . He challenged his students to make a new OpenFOAM function or solver before graduate, which made some of them become pioneering young leaders who continue contributing CFD community in an opensource manner.”
The selection process was (a) nominated by audiences, (b) recommended by UCL OpenFOAM Workshop community (c) approved by international OpenFOAM Workshop community.
A recording is available at https://youtu.be/IYNOZPVl9X8 . It starts with a description of the award. I get the award at 3:10, and it continues to 10:45. After that the award is given also to another person. Note that I have asked them to donate the prize money (£200) to UNHCR.
Proceedings and course links
I will not start thinking about the 2024 course until the 2023 course is finished. I will start a new list of interested 1st February (don’t send applications before that date!). There is a maximum number of participants, and the course quickly fills up. Meanwhile, have a look at the link to information about the course(s) above.

Computational Fluid Dynamics
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the application of numerical methods to create simulations of systems of interest in many areas of engineering. The general mathematical approach is to discretize the governing equations of fluid flow using finite volume methods to solve the equations of motion numerically via iterative procedures. The discipline exists at the intersection of fluid mechanics, mathematics and computer science. As computer systems have evolved and become more capable, the opportunities to use CFD to simulate complex processes have become more useful, accepted and available. CFD is currently used in many industries to simulate complex processes for understanding and process development. It also enables simulations in design spaces that are either impractical or dangerous to perform physically. CFD is an established technique in many industries and is now being used in medical, environmental and energy systems. It is common to combine other processes such as heat transfer, particle size distribution and electrochemistry with the CFD code to expand what can be learned. CFD also enables the study of complex biological systems in vitro without harming the patient. Researchers at the University of Rochester are fortunate to have access to the state-of-the-art computational resources provided through the University’s Center for Integrated Research Computing , to enable complex CFD calculations.

PhD Fellowship in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Drill String Mechanics Job InformationOffer description. Job description PhD Fellowship in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Drill String Mechanics at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Energy and Petroleum Engineering. The position is vacant from 01 April 2023. This is a trainee position that will give promising researchers an opportunity for academic development through a PhD education leading to a doctoral degree. The hired candidate will be admitted to the PhD program in Science and Technology. The education includes relevant courses to about six months of study, a dissertation based on independent research, participation in national and international research environments, relevant academic communication, a trial lecture and public defence. Read more about the PhD education at UiS on our website. The appointment is for three years with research duties exclusively. The position is associated with the Centre for Research-based Innovation DigiWells. The center is a cooperation of NORCE Norwegian Research Centre, the University of Stavanger, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and the University of Bergen. It is funded by AkerBP, ConocoPhillips, Equinor, Lundin Energy, TotalEnergies, Vår Energi, Wintershall DEA, and the Research Council of Norway. Research topic The drilling of wells is performed by applying weight and torque to the drill bit at the bottom of a long and slender drill string, while a fluid is circulated through the well to ensure hole cleaning and lubrication of the drill string. While drilling, the loads on the drill string can cause a combination of axial, torsional and lateral vibrations. This motion will in turn impact the annular fluid flow, and can cause complex annular flow dynamics, involving local turbulent effects and secondary flows. This can impact both local pressure losses, cuttings particle distribution and transport along the annulus, and will also affect the drill string motion through the viscous drag exerted on the string. The goal of this project is to improve our understanding of fluid dynamics and particle transport within the annular space outside a drill string, and to strengthen our knowledge of the coupling between drill string vibrations and fluid flow. The project will study this topic using mainly computational and theoretical approaches, and will investigate the roles of fluid rheology, flow regime and borehole inclination on the transport of particles and the drill string motion. The industrial motivation for the study is to develop more efficient diagnostics of drill string vibrations, and to enable control of particularly lateral motion of the string through a new, patented downhole tool. Possible research questions that could be addressed relatively early in the project using a computational fluid dynamics model include:
This project will be based primarily on computational methods, using e.g. finite volume and/or finite element methods for solving the coupled equations for the submerged body and the fluid phase. The project will investigate model reductions through modern machine learning methods for developing computationally efficient solutions for e.g. real-time applications. The current research project is relevant for a wide range of academic and engineering disciplines, including hemodynamics and medical applications, fluid-solid interactions and flow in chemical and process engineering, as well as basic research within control theory, nonlinear dynamics and chaotic oscillations.
