Author Information

Dr Stoevesandt is Head of the department Aerodynamics, CFD and stochastic dynamics at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy Systems. He started working on OpenFOAM in 2008 at the University of Oldenburg and built up the research group on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for wind energy (using OpenFOAM) at the University and later at Fraunhofer IWES. In 2013 he was part of the team that started the conference series Symposium on OpenFOAM in Wind Energy , which is having its 5th anniversary this year. The IWES group gives courses on OpenFOAM in wind energy on a regular basis to commercial partners. It has developed a broad toolbox to achieve CFD simulations with OpenFOAM.
