Practical Training of the Methods of Numerical Flow Calculation

Due to the rapid development of computational technology in the last decades, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become increasingly important in research and development. Numerical simulations are in many cases more cost-effective than experiments. They allow to investigate parameter ranges that are difficult to reach in experiments and can provide the complete flow field (temperature and density distribution, etc.) for the calculated area. Such detailed information is generally much more difficult to obtain in experiments. The success of a CFD calculation depends decisively on the given geometries, the fluid properties, the boundary conditions and the solution control parameters and thus primarily on the user himself. In this tutorial, an introduction to the CFD program ANSYS CFX for the calculation of the flow as well as to the evaluation of the data with MATLAB will be given.
