Advanced CFD using ANSYS Fluent : Skill-Lync

Introduction

A Quick Overview

If you have a keen interest in Aviation and Thermal Industries and have been meaning to dig deep and understand a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool like ANSYS Fluent, this is the course for you. In this 3-month course, we will walk you through Fluent and how it provides fast and accurate results across a wide range of the CFD and Multiphysics applications.

Fluent contains the broad physical modeling capabilities needed to model flow, turbulence, heat transfer, and reactions for industrial applications. At the end of the course, you will have a better understanding of all the background physics within each option in the tool. This sets you up with much-needed skill-sets for a CFD Application Engineer, CFD Developer, or a CFD Service Engineer.

Understand Vortices, calculating Downforce & Drag on a Vehicle
Y+ Estimation & Grid Refinement

In this module, you will learn how to simulate solid side heat transfer along with the fluid flow. Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) refers to simulating multiple modes of heat transfer. For example, in one of the projects, you will simulate the heat transfer in an exhaust manifold when hot exhaust products are flowing through it. When you complete this module, you will be able to do the following

Extracting Solid and Fluid Volumes
Creating Shared Topologies for Creating Conformal Meshes
Setting up Volumetric Heat Sources
Visualizing Heat Transfer Coefficient Distribution
