Our Verdict

The OpenFOAM Intermediate course offers substantive coverage of essential OpenFOAM topics for beginners, with a strong focus on fluid dynamics, CFD, turbulence, and complex meshing. Although depth in certain subject areas could be enhanced, and more hands-on interactivity is desirable, the course's clear language and ample examples ultimately position it as an excellent starting point for those looking to explore OpenFOAM concepts further.

What We Liked

Covers intermediate-level OpenFOAM concepts such as snappyHexMesh, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and multiphase flow
High-quality language usage and detailed explanation in sections 2, 6, and 7
Includes valuable insights into the math behind OpenFoam functions, files, and CFD concepts
Well-explained examples of the mesh generation process using snappyHexMesh
Provides a good balance between theoretical explanations and practical applications

Potential Drawbacks

Lacks depth in specific areas such as error messages during OpenFOAM usage, advanced features for intermediate users, and multiprocessing explanation
Incomplete coverage of snappyHexMesh section and creating geometry from scratch
Instruction lacks interactivity with limited non-video resources
Does not mention useful addons like swak4FOAM and PyFoam
Limited guidance on the boundary conditions' right choice
