CFD Simulations on Desktop can provide research opportunities like Experimental Setup and Industrial Pilot Plants. When labs tools and material are expensive, CFD simulations are excellent alternative to minimize the required experiments. Furthermore, CFD can provide details properties and parametric studies which are out of experimental limitations.
Many students and experts become familiar with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations via published CFD results. As CFD is applicable for all scientific and technological fields, you can find new CFD results every day.
It is noted that CFD isn’t limited to fluid flow studies and can be called CTP (Computational Transport Phenomena) covering all natural phenomena and industrial processes, based on material and energy conservation laws and transport mechanisms implemented in Navier Stokes equations, for all gas, liquid and solid states (even plasma and acoustics), from micron to Km scales. This is why, CFD Skills have been demanded continuously in recent years.
ANSYS Fluent software, as one of the most advanced CFD tools in the world, offers extensive possibilities for simulating and analyzing fluid flows. Novel CFD platforms such as SimScale that provides online CFD simulation on cloud, are new opportunities. For complex physics and advanced customized CFD simulations, OpenFOAM is one of the best.
In this training course, our goal is to familiarize students, experts and engineers with practical CFD simulations using ANSYS Fluent software, SimScale platform and OpenFOAM programing. We will review the principles governing fluid flows, numerical solution methods, and various simulation steps such as preprocessing, solving, and postprocessing. This course is designed in such a way that students can easily understand complex concepts and acquire the necessary skills to carry out real projects.
Using practical examples and applied projects, those interested in learning the skills of analyzing fluid flows, heat and mass transfer and performing effective simulations will gradually be able to apply such analyzes in various engineering and research fields. At the end of this course, trainees will have the ability to extract meaningful results from CFD simulations and apply them to solve practical engineering and industrial problems.
