Follow the flow
Explore internal and external flow, velocity profiles, pressure drop, and the principles of drag and lift.
See the flow. Understand the forces. Build your CFD knowledge through a focused, 10-day learning journey at CADD International.
Explore the principles behind fluid movement, thermal behaviour and meaningful simulation results.
Explore internal and external flow, velocity profiles, pressure drop, and the principles of drag and lift.
Study heat transfer mechanisms, convection, turbulence concepts and temperature boundary conditions.
Interpret plots and flow trajectories. Learn why convergence, mesh independence and validation matter.
Build your understanding step by step, from CFD fundamentals to a complete project.
What is CFD? Why CFD? CFD workflow; governing equations; CFD vs experimental methods; applications.
Pressure, velocity, density, viscosity; Newtonian fluids; Reynolds number; laminar vs turbulent flow; incompressible vs compressible flow.
Continuity, momentum and energy equations; pressure/velocity boundary conditions; inlet/outlet/wall conditions.
What is a computational mesh? Cartesian mesh; computational cells; mesh resolution; boundary-layer effects; mesh independence.
Internal vs external flow; pressure drop; flow development; mass flow rate; velocity profiles.
External aerodynamics; computational domain; symmetry; far-field boundaries; drag and lift.
Laminar/turbulent flow; turbulence models concept; heat transfer mechanisms; convection; temperature boundary conditions.
Goals, plots, cut plots, surface plots, flow trajectories; convergence; residuals; engineering interpretation.
Cavitation physics; vapor pressure; cavitation number; pressure drop; multiphase concepts.
CFD workflow review; validation; mesh independence; result verification; common CFD mistakes.
Connect setup, meshing, interpretation and verification in your final project. Develop a methodical approach to analysing results and recognising common CFD mistakes.
