CFD a Pro Approach to Solve Industrial Problems with ANSYS

In engineering analysis, CAD model plays an important role. It may have errors like merged faces, duplicate curves, extra edges, split edges, gaps or even interference errors. Therefore, we need to avoid dirty CAD Geometry and that to be repaired and converted to error free geometry. To avoid modelling errors, it is important to select correct and all the relevant physical models. The most important model for fluid dynamics is a set of partial differential equations called the Navier Stokes equations.

After getting the error free correct geometry, we need to go for discretization or meshing. To have an accurate result we need to focus on better meshing quality because, better the mesh, better is the solution. To minimize the discretization error, we need to go on meshing and remeshing again and again till we reach the minimum error. When we get the exact solution then we say that convergence criteria achieved.

From these theoretical understanding we can realize that in FEA or in CFD or in any kind of Engineering analysis meshing or discretization plays a very important role. Sometimes the geometry or the CAD model may be having some intersecting solids or surfaces. It may have errors like merged faces, duplicate curves, extra edges, split edges, gaps or even interference errors. In these cases, we cannot go for perfect meshing. Therefore, we need to rectify those errors using ANSYS space-claim repair tool and even we can share topology. So, if we require perfect meshing and after that if we want to go for different types of analysis like structural or CFD analysis, the we must say that ANSYS is best software. Here, to have a perfect meshing we can adopt different meshing methods like watertight geometry and fault tolerant meshing, which is new to ANSYS interface and it is been introduced in ANSYS 2021 version. Therefore, to be familiar with these new techniques we have developed this course considering different types of engineering applications with advanced techniques like watertight geometry, fault-tolerant meshing as well as with conventional approach.

Accordingly, we have categorized this CFD course into three different units consisting of twenty videos relevant to industrial applications.

The first unit comprise of ANSYS Fluent Fault tolerant meshing, consisting ten videos.

The second unit comprise of ANSYS Fluent watertight geometry, consisting four videos and the third unit contains four videos with conventional approach of CFD Fluent flow analysis.
