Engineers today are expected to evaluate designs before prototypes are built—this is where CFD becomes indispensable. This intermediate-level course empowers learners to simulate fluid behavior using ANSYS Fluent and apply it to real-world problems across thermal and aerodynamic systems. The course begins with a conceptual foundation in CFD solvers and governing equations, then transitions to project-based learning through structured videos, scenario-driven coach dialogues, and hands-on labs. Learners will practice the full simulation workflow—from geometry creation and meshing to physics setup and post-processing.
