Computational Fluid Dynamics Workshop 2017

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been a very important research and design tool in thermo fluids engineering. Understanding the applicability, flexibility, and limitation of CFD is very important to produce useful results. This specially designed course for beginners in CFD that combines the study of a commercial software (ANSYS FLUENT) and an open source software (OpenFOAM) will enable the participants to pick the right tool to do a particular task. The robustness of ANSYS FLUENT as a well established commercial software and the modelling flexibility of OpenFOAM software will be discussed during the workshop to lead the participants towards the capabilities of both kinds of CFD tools. A walk-through demonstration will be done to introduce the participants with the pre-processing, processing, and post-processing tasks in CFD.

Level of course: Introductory

Who should attend:

1. Research students who need to analyse their experimental results with the support of CFD analysis will get an idea about validation process of CFD results.
2. Research students who begin to embark on a purely computational study will be exposed to CFD tool modification to implement new models.
3. Engineers who begin to implement CFD to model fluid flow processes for optimization purposes.
4. Engineers who plan to apply open source CFD toolkit to cut cost on large scale simulation.
