OpenFoam - tutorial for boats

[Ralph M]

All;

I'm trying to get familiar with the open source package OpenFoam. Has anyone experience with this program and suggestions for me about boundary conditions, type of solvers (I guess simpleFoam for problems w/o free surface and interfoam with free surface) and how to treat meshes?

I'm looking forward for a tutorial but these are hard to find; especially when concerning boats and free surfaces. Any help is appreciated; thanks!

I would also check cfd-online.com

Yes, I was working on that. The problem is that they have a lot of topics on how to get started with OpenFoam and they have a lot of topics for the more advanced user.

Because I want to simulate yacht I thought I might post my question over here

Well, it took me 2 min to find it using search.

Then you've had better search criteria than I've had! Thanks for the link and your 2 minutes of valuable time
