Whether you are a profesional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) user or want to explore CFD for the first time, one of the most common approaches to develop a CFD simulation for a new case study of interest is to search for the most similar, previously developed and validated CFD simulation among other works. A simple search would result into a pool of written/visual tutorials. However, users should spend significant amount of time and effort to find the most correct, compatible and valid tutorial in this pool and further modify it toward their simulation of interest. SFO is an open-source project with the core idea of saving the above-mentioned time and effort. This is done via documenting/sharing scientific and methodological approaches to develop CFD simulations for a wide spectrum of fundamental and industrial case studies in three different CFD solvers; STAR-CCM+, FLUENT and Open FOAM (SFO). All of the steps and required files of these tutorials are accessible and editable under the common roof of Github (a web-based Git repository hosting service). Currently SFO-Project has 10+ national and international engineer and scientist members and a library of 20+ developed CFD tutorials. Below are the list currently developed and under-development CFD case studies in this project. Our team is actively looking forward to your feedback, comments and to host you as a new SFO-er! Please Email us at sfo.cfd@gmail.com to either add your current project to our archive or learn CFD by taking the lead of a existing project. Our expert members will train and collaborate with you side-by-side FREE of any charge and expenss!
