This course provides a working understanding of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and an overview of best practices. It is designed to provide the engineer with basic knowledge to apply CFD, identify and solve real life applications.
This course creates an awareness of the potentials and limitations of this technology. The engineer will be exposed to a wide range of applications and the course offers high benefits to those who have little or no exposure to CFD. Additionally, this course offers engineers involved in CFD an opportunity to sample the wide range of applications that can be solved using CFD methods.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain what computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is and why it is used.
- Describe the three primary steps in a CFD analysis.
- Explain the roles of geometry preparation and mesh generation in CFD.
- Describe governing equations, boundary conditions, discretization, and linear solvers used in CFD.
- Analyze CFD results.
- Explain the role of CFD in industry.
- Identify CFD applications, including external aerodynamics, internal flow, compressible flow, buoyancy-driven flow, flow in a valve, flow and heat transfer, mixing applications, multiphase flow, and combustion systems.
- Describe the limitations of CFD.
- Summarize emerging directions in the next generation of CFD.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
