What are the differences between various differencing and meshing schemes?
What are the basics of turbulence, heat transfer, and FSI modelling?
What are errors and uncertainties in CFD and how do you reduce them?
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.
This is a 6-session online training course, with each session lasting for approximately 2/2.5 hours, depending on homework submissions, questions & discussions.
You can attend the sessions live, and/or stream on demand. When you register you will get access to a dedicated course forum where you can contact the tutor with questions, submit homework, download pdfs of course notes and access all session recordings. To get the most out of the course, participation in forum discussions is encouraged.

Note: This is a six week course. Each session represents one 2 hour* session each week. The length of each session can vary, depending on Q&A, homework responses, and other contributing factors.

*It is your individual responsibility to check whether these e-learning courses satisfy the criteria set-out by your state engineering board. NAFEMS does not guarantee that your individual board will accept these courses for PDH credit, but we believe that the courses comply with regulations in most US states (except Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, and New York, where providors are required to be pre-approved)
Telephony surcharges may apply for attendees who are located outside of North America, South America and Europe. These surcharges are related to individuals who join the audio portion of the web-meeting by calling in to the provided toll/toll-free teleconferencing lines. We have made a VoIP option available so anyone attending the class can join using a headset (headphones) connected to the computer. There is no associated surcharge to utilize the VoIP option, and is actually encouraged to ensure NAFEMS is able to keep the e-Learning course fees as low as possible. Please send an email to the e-Learning coordinator (e-learning @ nafems.org ) to determine if these surcharges may apply to your specific case.
Just as with a live face-to-face training course, each registration only covers one person. If you plan to register a large group (10+), please send an email to e-learning @ nafems.org in advance for group discounts.
