Hey everyone! I’m curious—how long did it take you to get comfortable using OpenFOAM? Whether you're still learning or feel like a pro now, I’d love to hear about your experience and any tips you have! 😄

Hi everyone, I was lately hooked on some new meshing strategies to include in SplashFOAM, and I was curious to know what your preferred meshing tools/methods are. Feel free to write your experience with meshing in the comments below. This feedback will help me a lot. Cheers! [N.B.: I may consider generating some meshing templates for canonical flows at some point, so stay tuned ;)]

Hello everyone. I recently took the initiative to create my laboratory's social networks. We are starting our posts and we will try to bring relevant topics to promote good scientific discussions. Today we are posting a little about our experience with the experimental PIV and Shadow Sizing techniques. Come and learn a little more about us and, if you like, like and follow us to receive our posts.

Hi everybody! Happy to have you all here and very excited to kick-start a long journey of mentorship and growth with all of you. To help get to know each other and break the shyness, take a moment to introduce yourself below and let others know what you're currently working on (CFD or in general). ** Please make sure you have carefully read this post and participated in this poll [takes 5 seconds] Let's go!

Hi everyone! It seems like the group has been a bit quiet lately so I thought I’d spark some discussion with a question about my simulation project. I’m currently working on a reactor simulation using Ansys Fluent with the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) enabled. The simulations are steady-state and I monitor the residuals and balance equations to determine if my solution has converged. I’ve set the residuals to (10^{-6}) for energy and (10^{-5}) for the other variables. However my solution consistently fails to converge. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to achieve convergence? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your insights! 😊
