As a part of setting up a collaboration with Universita degli Studi di Firenze an introductory presentation on OpenFOAM capabilities for turbomachinery simulations in Florence, 5/Oct/2007. I would like to thank my hosts for a considerable contribution to the OpenFOAM Project and the dedication in their work on turbomachinery features. Special thanks to Dr. Luca Mangani and congratulations on his PhD!
A talk on the self-contained Fluid-Structure Interaction solver in OpenFOAM at the Fourth MIT Conference on CFD, Cambridge, MA 13-15/Jun/2007. The solver combines large structural deformation in the updated Lagrangian formulation and an incompressible fluid flow solver and has been developed in collaboration with dr. Zeljko Tukovic of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB), University of Zagreb, Croatia.
Presenting the work on Preconditioned linear solvers in Large Eddy Simulation at the with OpenFOAM at the 15th Annual Conference of the CFD Society of Canada, 27-31/May/2007.
A talk on the adoption of CFD in the automotive industry at the TMS Conference Integrated Computational Materials Engineering: Lessons from Many Fields in Orlando, Florida, 28/Feb/2007. Interesting conference, with a lot to see: it turns out that materials modelling is not so far off from CFD after all. Special thank you to Deb Whitis of GE Infra, Aviation and Robert W. Hyers of University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
