   1. Preparing the Surface for Flow SimulationW01
      • In this module, you will learn,
        • 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
   2. Setting up the SimulationW02
      • In this module, you will learn about
        • Creating virtual wind tunnel

        • Turbulence Modelling

        • Understanding the wake and the effect this will have on the aerodynamic parameters.

      In this module, you will learn how to set up a CFD simulation using CONVERGE CFD. We will provide step-by-step instructions on the following:

   2. Surface PreparationW02

      In this module, we will elaborate on surface preparation in complete detail. Here you will learn the following:

      • Setting up the moving boundaries
      • Geometry cleanup
   3. Regions and InitializationW03

      In this module, you will learn the following concepts:

      • Initializing pressure, temperature, and species concentration in different flow regions
      • Disconnecting triangles
      • While setting up the case, one will come across complex problems where there will be different zones where the value for any thermodynamic properties like Pressure or temperature will be different and set up the case accordingly, CONVERGE provides a very good feature of creating a region (volumetric region) in which there will be particular value for the pressure, a temperature that user will provide according to his needs.
      • A very good example of the application of regions and initialization is a SHOCK TUBE problem in which there are 2 chambers filled with fluid, one at high pressure and the other at low pressure and these 2 regions are separated with the help of the diaphragm. Now to set up such cases, a feature of Regions and Initialization seems to be important and useful.
      • After creating 2 regions, we need to provide initial values to both regions accordingly and this is how students will learn to create volumetric regions.
   4. Turbulence ModellingW04

      In this module, students will learn how turbulence is modeled and simulated in a state-of-the-art CFD solver. You will learn about the different classes of turbulence models and understand their merits and demerits.

      • You will learn various turbulence models available like (RNG k-ε, k-ω SST, etc) and understand which model is suitable for which application.
      • Mostly, RNG k-ε suits best for Internal flows and k-ω SST suits best for external flows.

      • In this module, you will learn how Cavitation can be simulated.
      • We will be focussing on the Volume of Fluid Method (VOF).
      • You will also learn about VOID FRACTION which is the basis of the VOF method.
