Aim: Introduce CFD concepts, highlight industry significance, and provide hands-on experience
with analysis tools, boundary conditions, and numerical methods.
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

1. Introduction: CFD is the simulation of fluids engineering systems using modelling (mathematical
physical problem formulation) and numerical methods (discretization methods, solvers, numerical
parameters, and grid generations, etc.). Historically only Analytical Fluid Dynamics (AFD) and
Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD). CFD made possible by the advent of digital computer and
advancing with improvements of computer resources.

2. Significance of CFD in the industry: CFD are used in many industries like Aerospace, Automobile,
Biomedical, Chemical Processing, Marine, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Sports and many more. By
using CFD, engineers can accurately predict fluid dynamics, such as pressure, temperature, velocity,
and turbulence in complex systems or processes that would be impossible to study through traditional
experimentation. CFD simulation services are an indispensable tool across a wide range of industries.
These services provide a detailed understanding of fluid flows and thermal characteristics of products,
processes, and systems, which can significantly benefit a company’s bottom line.
3. CFD analysis process: Preprocessing, Solver and Post processing:

4. Introduction to any suitable software tool for CFD analysis:

There are many softwares available for CFD Analysis. Some of the popular softwares are- (i)ANSYS
Fluent: Widely used in industry and academia, ANSYS Fluent offers a comprehensive set of features
for fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical reactions. (ii) SolidWorks Flow Simulation: Integrated with
the SolidWorks CAD platform, this software is user-friendly and suitable for simulating fluid flow and
heat transfer in the context of product design.
5. Introduction to Boundary conditions and Initial value conditions:

Initial conditions (ICS, steady/unsteady flows) • ICs should not affect final results and only affect
convergence path, i.e. number of iterations (steady) or time steps (unsteady) need to reach converged
solutions. • More reasonable guess can speed up the convergence • For complicated unsteady flow
problems, CFD codes are usually run in the steady mode for a few iterations for getting a better
initial conditions

Boundary conditions: No-slip or slip-free on walls, periodic, inlet (velocity inlet, mass flow rate,
constant pressure, etc.), outlet (constant pressure, velocity convective, numerical beach, zero-gradient),
and non-reflecting (for compressible flows, such as acoustics), etc.

6. Brief overview of Navier-Stokes equation:

The Navier-Stokes Equations refer to a set of equations that combine the conservation of mass
and momentum equations, including body force,
pressure force, and viscous force, to calculate the unknowns of velocity components (u, v, w) and
pressure (p) in fluid dynamics. They were named after French engineer and physicist Claude-
Louis
Navier and the Irish physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes. The equations are a set
of coupled differential equations and could, in theory, be solved for a given flow problem by using
methods from calculus. But, in practice, these equations are too difficult to solve analytically.
7. Concept of Finite Difference Method (FDM) and Finite Volume Method (FVM):

In Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), "FDM" stands for Finite Difference Method, which
approximates derivatives using values at grid points, while "FVM" stands for Finite Volume
Method, which solves conservation equations by integrating over small control volumes, making
FVM generally better at handling complex geometries and ensuring conservation of quantities like
mass and momentum compared to FDM, which is often simpler to implement but can struggle
with complex shapes.
