This two and a half-day course is intended for those
users who are new to CFD and who need an introduction (or
re- introduction) to fluid mechanics, heat transfer and
computational fluid dynamics. The goal is to make you more
successful at CFD by having a more thorough knowledge of
the underlying physics and numerical techniques in our
software. It is assumed that participants have a technical
education and background, but not necessarily an
engineering degree. The course consists of lectures only.
The topics are covered in a general fashion with no
particular bias towards any CFD software package.
The first day is a review of the governing equations
and non-dimensionalization, boundary layer flow,
internal/external flows and heat transfer. The second and
third day focus on a review of CFD techniques, including
how the governing equations are discretized, appropriate
boundary conditions, overview of solution methodologies
(including finite difference, finite volume and finite
element techniques), domain discretization and meshing
considerations, equation solvers, turbulence modeling,
postprocessing and case studies. These concepts will be
summarized and illustrated via several case studies.
Detailed agendas for days 1 through 3 are available.
The cost for the two and a half-day course is $1750.
Please note, Fluent reserves the right to cancel a class,
with notice, if there is insufficient interest.
