Overview of Course

The development of modern computational fluid dynamics (CFD) began with the advent of the digital computer in the early 1950s. Since then it has been used by researchers, industry personals to solve the problems of fundamental interest and industrial relevance in the broad domain of fluid flow and heat transfer. This course will provide an introduction to the theoretical fundamentals as well as to the use of commercial and opensource CFD codes to analyze flow and heat transfer in problems of practical engineering interest. Participants will be trained to preprocess raw geometric data, mesh it and then develop a CFD model. In this process, participants will understand the process of developing a geometrical model of the flow, applying appropriate boundary conditions, specifying solution parameters, and visualizing the results.

What will be offered?

  • Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Basics of Finite Difference Method and Finite Volume Method
  • Solving 1-D/2-D fluid flow and heat transfer problems using TDMA
  • Introduction to Ansys-Fluent and OpenFOAM
  • Learning setting up a CFD simulation by applying appropriate governing equations and boundary conditions using software packages.
  • Understanding the post processing and physical interpretation of results
