FLUID DYNAMICS

1 SIMULATIONS
USING ANSYS
Online Certificate Program

OVERVIEW
From aerospace to manufacturing, engineers often have a need to simulate fluid flow
using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

This hands-on certificate program empowers you to create reliable and validated
simulations without the need to focus on all the underlying mathematics. Using a
proven methodology, these courses will help you approach CFD problems like an
expert. Throughout the courses, you will simulate a variety of 2D and 3D flows, such
as flows over a car body, cooling fan, and airplane body, using Ansys, the leading
simulation platform for industrial applications. You will then apply the insights and
experience gained in the coursework to solve new problems on your own. After
practice with problem-based learning methodology on various types of flow problems
you will be able to apply this approach to create your own simulations for a wide array
of situations. The examples have been developed in collaboration with Ansys Inc.
engineers to be industry relevant.

You will be most successful in this course if you have a strong foundation in high
school-level calculus, physics, and algebra. It is strongly recommended to take these
courses in the order that they appear. For the best experience in this program, we
strongly recommend you use a desktop version of Ansys

FOUNDATIONS OF CFD

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) aims to analyze and solve fluid mechanics
problems within a variety of practical contexts. In particular, CFD approximately solves
the mathematical models in fluid mechanics using numerical solution strategies
with computer modeling software. Through the use of modeling software, you will
leverage the computational power of the computer to complete calculations that
would otherwise be impossible to do by hand. You will also generate clear visual
representations of your solution that make interpretation by humans much easier
and enable us to develop physical intuition. To ensure that your solutions accurately
represent reality, however, you need to first understand how the “black box” of your
modeling software functions and have methods to verify and validate your results.

2D LAMINAR FLOWS

The framework used in this course for solving fluid dynamics problems can be applied
to a wide array of situations and contexts. You will work on a 2D incompressible
laminar flow problem in Ansys. Working with 2D flow simulations will help prepare
you to create reliable fluid flow simulations for more complex 3D applications such as
a car body, fan, and airplane.

3D TURBULENT FLOWS

While 2D simulations are a good place to begin, many of the real-world applications
of simulation require simulating 3D conditions. In this course, you will work on a 3D
turbulent flow problem in Ansys. You will apply the ideas covered in the previous
course on 2D laminar flow, now extending to 3D turbulent flow, which is relevant for
many industrial applications of simulation.

ROTATING MACHINERY FLOWS

Rotating machinery is very important to consider in practice because it exists all


around us in many forms, such as wind turbines, compressors, and fans. In this
course, you will work on rotating machinery flow problems. This problem extends the
same underlying physics and governing equations applied to 3D flows, with the added
complexity of a moving physical body.

COMPRESSIBLE FLOWS

In high-speed flow, density changes are important to account for in order to accurately
simulate the flow. In this course, you will work on compressible flow problems in
Ansys. A classic example of such a flow problem is airflow over an airplane body. You
will solve the governing equations for this type of problem and simulate the high-
speed flow over an airplane body.
