Links to Work Resources

OpenFOAM Resources

• OpenFOAM web site. Contains examples of simulations, manuals and user guides, up-to-date information on releases, as well and contact and support details for OpenFOAM work and research in OpenFOAM.
• Foam CFD site contains info of OpenFOAM development, project status and current collaboration. I am hoping to convert it into a comprehensive repository of OpenFOAM related publications, tutorials, technical notes, examples etc. as a part of the OpenFOAM project.
• OpenFOAM discussion group. A public discussion forum for peer support on OpenFOAM. Very lively in the last few months!
• OpenFOAM Training Wiki. Training material used for the 4-day OpenFOAM training course organised by Wikki Ltd. at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Morgantown WV 4-6/Oct/2005
• Newly opened OpenFOAM Wiki Page. Work-in-progress effort on an up-to-date and complete documentation resource, courtesy of OpenFOAM volunteers at the University of Leoben.

CFD Companies

A list of CFD companies I am/have been involved with in my professional work.

• Wikki Ltd, my current employer. Specialises on CFD and C++ consultancy and supports open source CFD development through OpenFOAM.
• Fluent Inc. A major part of my professional work. Currently collaborating with the Development teams in New Hampshire, Chicago and Brussels. A nice and clever bunch of guys as well.
• CD-adapco Group, authors of STAR-CD. I worked in the STAR-CD Development team in London for 4 years (1996-2000).

Academic Institutions

• XV Gimnazija, Zagreb, also known as MIOC. I have attended MIOC between 1984 and 1988.
• Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB), University of Zagreb, Croatia. I have done my bachelor's degree at FSB and recently have been elected associate professor (docent).
• Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London. I have done my PhD. in prof. Gosman's group between September 1993 and June 1996.
• Universidad Technica Federico Santa Maria, Valparaiso Chile. The Mechanical Engineering Department has hosted me for a series of CFD lectures in October 2005. This, as well as the research interest in OpenFOAM leads me to hope for a fruitful collaboration over the forthcoming years.
• Chalmers University. There is a lot of collaboration between Chalmers and OpenFOAM developers, including work on combustion and spray modelling - a very successful OpenFOAM research group.
• University College Dublin, dealing with Finite Volume stress analysis with strong non-linearity, including contact problems, plasticity, crack propagation and solid-fluid interaction.
• Politecnico di Milano, in particular the Internal Combustion Engine Group.
• University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMASS), experts in free surface tracking.
• National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of the US Department of Energy, based in Morgantown, West Virginia
• University of Sheffield, Applied Mathematics Department
