Getting Started with Ansys Fluent

Overview

Ever wondered how engineers predict how air moves around a racing car or how water flows through a turbine? Welcome to the world of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This workshop is a beginner-friendly introduction to Ansys Fluent, the industry-leading software used by aerospace and automotive companies worldwide.

We’ve designed this session specifically for students to bridge the gap between classroom theory and hands-on engineering. You will be guided through the essential CFD pipeline: starting with a 3D model, "meshing" it into thousands of calculations, and running a solver to see your results in action. Whether you are working on a student project or just want to boost your resume, this workshop provides the foundation you need.

What Attendees Will Learn

• The CFD Workflow: Master the "Pre-processing, Solving, and Post-processing" pipeline used in professional engineering environments.
• Meshing Fundamentals: Understand how to discretize a fluid domain to ensure your results are both accurate and computationally efficient.
• Physics Setup: Learn how to define real-world conditions, such as inlet velocities, pressures, and fluid properties (like air vs. water).
• Result Interpretation: Gain the skills to analyze contours, streamlines, and vectors to troubleshoot designs and extract meaningful engineering data.

Who Should Attend

The workshop is designed for Engineering and physics students who are interested in learning abound computational fluid dynamics and the workflow.
