Overview
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the science of using computers to predict liquid and gas flows based on the governing equations of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. We can analyze, understand, and predict the fluids that make up nearly every part of our world through CFD. Thus, it is of utmost importance for almost any graduate from Mechanical or Aerospace engineering to have a basic understanding of CFD simulations and how they work.
This webinar is tailored especially for beginners. We will discuss the basics of simulations, governing equations and their discretization techniques, meshing and associated best practices, setting up appropriate boundary conditions, tips and tricks for reducing computational time, and finally, some aspects of post-processing, including flow visualization.
What attendees will learn
Attendees will leave with actionable insights to improve their CFD skills, helping them tackle complex problems with confidence. We will cover:
- Pre-processing: model setup, boundary conditions, meshing, etc.
- Post-processing: result validation and interpretation
- Simulation best practices
Who should attend
Students from Mechanical and Aerospace engineering are highly encouraged to attend to get their simulation journey started. The knowledge gained can be easily expanded further to sharpen their computational skills and make them industry ready for various professional roles.
