Ansys CFX Multiphase
Flow Modeling

Course Overview

Multiphase flows often play a key role in industrial processes and understanding multiphase phenomena can be important for optimizing processes or products. Ansys CFX offers a range of models for multiphase flow simulation which can help you to understand multiphase flow phenomena in your application.

Prerequisites

  • This course assumes that you have completed Ansys CFX Getting Started training and are already familiar with single phase flow in Ansys CFX.

Target Audience

Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, Process or Consulting Engineers or Engineers of any discipline who want to solve multiphase flow problems with Ansys CFX.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge.
