Python is a powerful, efficient, reliable, and versatile open-source programming language that consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Unlike other programming languages, Python syntax closely resembles natural languages, making it easier to learn and read. It is extensively used, from software development and cyber security to data analysis, simulation, and numerical computation. It has been designed to be highly extensible via modules. Python ecosystem is vast: libraries and frameworks exist for virtually every need, and a large active community of users ensures it is continuously improved and helps practitioners overcome technical challenges and stay updated on the latest developments.

This course provides the knowledge and tools required to understand, perform, and analyze the results of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations with the open-source software OpenFOAM. By completing the course, you will be able to carry out CFD simulations with OpenFOAM for different naval and marine applications. The course also includes extensive theoretical explanations of hull resistance and the physics of lift generation.
