The school of engineering science at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden is using ANSYS Inc products (FLUENT) in the education of engineering and master students in the field of CFD. The course is attracting approximately 40 students every year and has becoming even more popular during the last years. At KTH there is high demand from the students for CFD education (Not only from students in mechanical engineering, but also from chemical engineering students and other disciplines).
The course is a follow-up to a basic course in CFD considering numerical methods and fluid mechanics. The main part of the course is devoted to a project task that is solved by a group of 2-4 students. The projects that are done by the students are often related to industrial problems. The figure below shows a collage of pictures from previous student projects using ANSYS Inc. CFD software. A one-day hands-on introduction to FLUENT and Gambit is provided by Fluent Sweden AB.
