Description

Introduction: "Mastering Turbomachinery CFD Simulations with Ansys CFX" course is designed to help you gain the knowledge needed to navigate the intricate field of turbomachinery design and analysis with confidence. This course provides the complete fundamentals of CFD simulations for turbomachinery components using Ansys CFX.Major part of course content includes demonstration of analysis for turbomachinery components like axial/centrifugal compressors, axial/radial turbines, pumps, hydro turbines, wind turbines, etc. Preliminary design methods using Ansys tools are also explained in few chapters. Advanced design methods and design tools are mostly used for real world turbomachinery problems and it is not covered in this course.Basic mesh generation method is also specified in few chapters of this course. Complete course on mesh generation using Ansys Turbogrid is already available in Udemy. Two assignments are provided in this course for practicing Ansys CFX turbomachinery simulations. This will help to get hands on experience with the software.What will I learn?How to model, mesh and analyse turbomachinery components using Ansys CFX software.Analysis of turbo components like axial/radial compressors, turbines, pumps, blowers, wind turbines, etc.Setting the problem, specifying boundary conditions in CFX Preprocessor, solving the case in CFX solver and post processing in CFX Post processor.Steady state and transient CFD simulations.Performance evaluation of turbomachinery components.Basic checks to be done and error handling methods in Ansys CFX.By following the steps, students/professionals can quickly learn this software and use for real world problems.RequirementsBasic understanding turbomachinery components and CFDAnsys 2023 R1 or higher version installed.Computer with at least 4GB RAM
