Introduction to Practical CFD

This course offers attendees fundamental knowledge on using CFD in real-life engineering applications. Adopting a straightforward and moderately technical approach, it outlines the CFD process and explains the advantages and challenges of employing CFD analysis in the simulation of complex flow phenomena, as well as the integration of CFD into the design process. Additionally, the course highlights best practices to minimize errors and uncertainties in CFD studies. While key governing equations will be introduced for illustrative purposes, they will not be explored in detail. The course strives to remain CFD software neutral, though examples from prominent and widely used software packages will be incorporated to enhance learning.
