Introduction
With the rapid development of computer technology and advancement in available commercial software packages, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is becoming essential to reduce the design cycle lead time and improve quality of products.
This training course will be covering the theoretical principles of CFD analysis and how they are implemented in real world CFD flow problems. The course is designed to introduce and train participants on CFD flow problems, particularly for hydraulic applications, using ANSYS/Fluent software. Guidance and best practices in CFD analysis will be given for means of simulating fluid flows of practical interests accurately and effectively.
Who Should Attend?
Design engineers, project engineers, managers and other analysts. Background in engineering or science is necessary.
Objectives
Upon completion, participants should be able to:
- Understand the governing equations used in CFD analysis.
- Understand the numerical techniques used in CFD analysis.
- Create, clean and import CAD files for CFD analysis.
- Pre-process, solve and post-process results in ANSYS/Fluent software which include:
- Create mesh for complex geometry. Understand the effect of mesh refinement on solution accuracy and solving time.
- Understand turbulence modeling and turbulence model selection for each flow type.
- Understand and apply the appropriate boundary conditions.
- Solution accuracy and convergence monitoring.
- View and analyze CFD results.
Basic understanding of advanced topics in CFD such as cavitation and parametric studies in ANSYS/Fluent.
