CFD Using OpenFOAM for Absolute Beginners

I wanted to create a course I never got while I started with OpenFOAM. Hence I made this. This is a very basic course suitable only to get started with OpenFOAM. To start using OpenFOAM comfortable, you would need an intermediate course which I am planning to release soon.

I made this course free so that someone just starting with OpenFOAM don’t have to spend. OpenFOAM being OpenSource there are so many free resources. But most of them are not beginner friendly. Hence I made this.
