## What it is
A set of hands-on C++ programming tutorials for beginners developing code within the OpenFOAM open-source CFD framework. Each tutorial is a standalone code example with a test case, organized in increasing complexity and compatible with OpenFOAM 9.

## Use cases
- learn to program custom solvers in OpenFOAM
- get started with C++ development in the OpenFOAM framework
- find beginner-friendly OpenFOAM coding examples
- understand how to write OpenFOAM boundary conditions in C++
- learn the SIMPLE algorithm implementation in OpenFOAM
- compile and run OpenFOAM tutorial cases with wmake

## When to choose
- you are a beginner C++ programmer wanting to develop within OpenFOAM
- you learn best from standalone, compilable code examples
- you use OpenFOAM 9 from the openfoam.org branch

## When to avoid
- you need tutorials for the latest OpenFOAM versions beyond 9
- you want step-by-step written notes or instructions
- you are not yet familiar with running basic OpenFOAM cases
- you need commercial support or guaranteed maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, simulation, documentation
- domain: simulation, tutorials, education, programming-languages
- platform: cpp
- tags: openfoam, cfd, computational-fluid-dynamics, cpp-tutorials, scientific-computing, linux
