These Videos are great! Thank You very much. I tried finding the book you pulled up a 4:55 but could not find it. If anyone knows where to find the book it would be greatly appreciated! I've been trying to learn OpenFOAM on my limited spare time as a student.

@BHelgss Hi, tht notes are copyrighted and it doesnt belong to us. But most of the info there are adapted from openFoam user manual. A good starting point is the tutorials in OF official website. but I understand, it needs some patience.

@umerninja wsalam wrb Perhaps within another 2 weeks we will make a video on importing a geometry & perform aerodynamic analysis ... but for now this may be of interest to you... cfdcomputing(dot)com/documents­/openfoam_tutorial.htm

Fantastic! This cleared up a lot from someone with no experience with OpenFOAM or Linux :)

Really awesome videos. I'm shifting over from Fluent to OpenFOAM, and I found these videos to be very very helpful. Keep up the good work guys.
