The OpenFOAM Stammtisch held in Göttingen on April 1–2, 2025, marked a fresh start for one of the oldest OpenFOAM events, which has been bringing together CFD professionals since 2008. This year’s event returned after a seven-year hiatus, largely due to the pandemic, and we were excited to reconnect with the community once again.

Over the course of an evening and a full day, participants had the opportunity to engage in 7 high-quality presentations and take part in 3 unique problem-solving sessions, known as “Bring Your Problem”. These interactive sessions allowed attendees to present real-world CFD challenges and brainstorm possible solutions in a collaborative setting. The format was well received and encouraged valuable exchanges of ideas and practical solutions.

Additionally, attendees enjoyed a tour of the HPC facilities at NHR-Nord@Göttingen, gaining insights into the powerful computing infrastructure and cooling systems essential for large-scale CFD simulations.

A big thank you to Wikki GmbH for co-organizing this outstanding event, as well as for the warm hospitality, including great food and beer during the evening meetup.
