A Quick Overview

If you are looking for a course to help you learn and practice how to set up Advanced Aerodynamic Simulations with Converge CFD this is the one. This 12-week long course gets you started right from the basics by using simple applications like flow through a pipe all the way to visualizing flow over an Ahmed body and FSAE car. Students are taught with challenges, projects and exercises on how to use Converge CFD to set up these simulations & Paraview for post-processing of results.

Car manufacturers use Computational Fluid Dynamics to visualize the flow around their car Models. A recent example is how CFD was used to show how the Tesla Cybertruck - a car touted to be aerodynamically inefficient was in fact, really efficient.

COURSE SYLLABUS

1Preparing the Surface for Flow Simulation

In this module, you will learn how to import your CAD designs into CONVERGE Studio for performing flow analyses. The CAD geometry contains information on what the model is supposed to look like. You will work on fixing any errors, if present, and then split the geometry into boundaries so as to set up the simulation. This involves, but is not limited to:

CAD import and cleanup
Splitting the model into boundaries and flagging these boundaries

2Setting up the Simulation

In this module, you will learn about

Creating Virtual Wind Tunnel
Setting the boundary conditions effectively
How to choose the right turbulence model? K-Epsilon Vs. K-Omega SST
Understanding Y+ and choosing suitable grid sizes for our simulation

3Physics Modelling

A student of Aerodynamics needs to familiarize themselves with how different concepts in physics are captured by mathematical models. Without this understanding, an engineer will not be capable of setting up an external flow simulation with accuracy. We will cover the following modules under physical modelling:

Turbulence Modelling
Conjugate Heat Transfer
Shock Capturing

4Extracting Aerodynamic Quantities

The main reason for performing an aerodynamic simulation is to extract vital information from the solution like the drag and lift on specific boundaries.

Understanding the wake and the effect this will have on the aerodynamic parameters
Extracting information such as drag and lift force from Converge CFD

Projects Overview

Flow over an Airfoil

In this project, you will be simulating the flow over an airfoil for different angles of attack and make drag and lift calculations for each of these cases. A comparison of how the lift is being produced in each case, stall predictions and separation can be studied. Additionally, another comparison of turbulence modelling on the prediction of separation can be studied.

Lift and Drag predictions for different angles of attack
Effect of turbulence model on flow separation

Flow over an Ahmed Body

In this project, you will be simulating the flow over an Ahmed body and can alternatively study how separation occurs at the rear over different slant angles and compare your results with experimental data to validate the results.

Drag predictions for different slant angles
Effect of turbulence model on flow separation
Effect of slant angle on flow separation

Flow over an FSAE Car

In this project, you have the opportunity to perform as many simulations as you want to understand the aerodynamics of an FSAE car. We encourage students to work on open-ended problems and you can choose to solve as many problems as you want. Here are a few different project ideas that you can work on.

NOTE: Each of the following topics is a project and requires a fair amount of work. You can work on more than one topic at a time if you are hard-working and motivated.

Lift and drag predictions for different Yaw angles
Grid dependence test

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR ?

Students in Mechanical, Aerospace or Automotive engineering
This course is aimed at undergraduate students looking to gain an understanding of performing Aerodynamic simulations.
Students will be equipped with setting up Aerodynamic simulations from scratch and taking out vital information related to the simulation.

SOFTWARE COVERED

Converge CFD

CONVERGE is a general purpose CFD package that is extremely well suited for reacting and non-reacting flow applications. Converge has been widely adopted in the automotive Industry as the standard for IC Engine simulations.

CMD/CYGWIN

CMD/CYGWIN is a command line window where you will learn how to navigate to different directories, delete files, run simulations just by using different commands.

PARAVIEW

Paraview is a post-processing software which users will use to post process the results, see the mesh, create animations and analyse results.
