Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able :
• To acquire a significant level of experience in the use of modern CFD software: how to build flow geometries, to generate an adequate mesh for an accurate solution, to select appropriate solvers to obtain a flow solution, to set up the most appropriate turbulence model and to visualize the resulting flow field.
• To conduct a numerical analysis of fluid flows with different complexity levels
• To use and post-process the obtained results and plots
• To analyze and interpret the results and to investigate the fluid-flow behavior
• To optimize the model based on iterative results and to propose solutions for the physical problem
• To communicate the modeling work in written form (scientific report).

Content
This course introduces the student to the subject of Computational Fluid Dynamics, as well as numerical methods for predicting fluid flows and heat transfer in flows. This course aims to help students get a good level of expertise in flow modeling for engineering applications by conducting practical work on a well-known commercial tool.
Lectures content (6h)
• Introduction to CFD: CFD fundamentals, principles, and steps
• Turbulence modeling for CFD part I: Turbulence characteristics and properties, Mean-flow equations
• Turbulence modeling for CFD part II: Turbulent-viscosity models (RANS models), Near-wall treatments
Practical work: (16h)
• Introduction to Ansys Fluent CFD tool: Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing Elbow
• Practice on Ansys Fluent CFD tool: Modeling external Compressible Flow
• Practice on Ansys Fluent CFD tool: Modeling Transient Compressible Flow
