1. Introduction:

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that utilizes numerical
methods and algorithms to analyse and simulate the behaviour of fluid flows. In industry, CFD
plays a crucial role by providing insights into aerodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid
interactions, aiding in the design and optimization of various engineering processes. The CFD
analysis process involves pre-processing to set up the simulation, solving the mathematical
equations (often Navier-Stokes) with solvers, and post-processing to interpret results. Boundary
and initial conditions are essential inputs, and CFD methods like Finite Difference and Finite
Volume are employed to discretize and solve the governing equations accurately.

2. Aim:

Introduce CFD concepts, highlight industry significance, and provide hands-on experience with
analysis tools,boundary conditions, and numerical methods.
3. Objectives:
1. Introduce CFD fundamentals and their
industrial relevance.
2. Guide participants through the CFD
analysis process stages.
3. Familiarize with software tools, boundary
conditions, and numerical methods like
FDM and FVM.
4. Introduction:

- Discuss the theory behind CFD, emphasizing the significance of non-dimensional numbers
such as the Reynolds number, and concepts like drag and lift.

5. Methodology:
6. Geometry: Provide images detailing the steps involved in creating the geometry.
7. Meshing: Present images illustrating the meshing process including methods, sizing,
inflation, etc.
8. Governing Equations:
• Continuity Equation: Also known as the conservation of mass equation, it
states that the rate of change of mass within a control volume is equal to the net
rate of mass flow into or out of the control volume.
• Momentum Equations: These equations describe the conservation of
momentum in the fluid flow.
• Energy Equation: This equation describes the conservation of energy in the
fluid flow and includes terms for convection, diffusion, and energy generation.
• These equations form the basis for solving fluid flow problems in CFD.
Depending on the specific problem and assumptions made (e.g., steady-state vs.
transient, compressible vs. incompressible), additional equations or
simplifications may be applied. Overall, solving these governing equations
numerically allows engineers and scientists to simulate and analyze complex
fluid flow phenomena in various applications.

9. Solution Technique/Set-up: Include images depicting the steps followed for solution,
from general setup to running calculations using ANSYS.
10. Result and Discussion:

Showcase images of contours, plots, residuals, etc., pertinent to the objectives.

11. Conclusion:

Provide conclusions based on observations from the results. Address questions related to the
introduction of Computational Fluid Dynamics, its significance in industries, the CFD analysis
process (pre-processing, solver, post-processing), introduction to boundary conditions and
initial value conditions, and an overview of the Navier-Stokes equation, Finite Difference
Method (FDM), and Finite Volume Method (FVM).

This structure aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Computational Fluid


Dynamics, its applications, and its methodologies, culminating in a meaningful discussion and
conclusion based on the obtained results.
