About This Course
Course Overview
This comprehensive course serves as an introduction to the practical application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) across various engineering disciplines. Participants will learn fundamental concepts such as geometry modelling, mesh generation, numerical solution, and post-processing techniques, all tailored to address a range of essential flow scenarios in both academic and industrial settings. Through a step-by-step approach, this course guides participants in executing CFD simulations for flows of significant industrial relevance and practical importance.
Learning outcomes
Following completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Analyse external flows, both laminar and turbulent, using CFD technique and compute forced exerted by the flow over bodies of different shapes
- Execute different heat transfer scenarios and analyse cases involving fluid and thermal coupling.
- Identify the need of transient simulations and setup transient flow problems and obtain accurate results by choosing appropriate mesh and time step sizes.
- Perform intermediate level multiphase studies involving two fluids
- Setup CFD simulations requiring dynamic mesh movement and predict the movement of rigid bodies in a flow
