Introduction: "Mastering Turbomachinery CFD Simulations with Ansys CFX" course is designed to help you gain the knowledge needed to navigate the intricate field of turbomachinery design and analysis with confidence. This course provides the complete fundamentals of CFD simulations for turbomachinery components using Ansys CFX.
Major part of course content includes demonstration of analysis for turbomachinery components like axial/centrifugal compressors, axial/radial turbines, pumps, hydro turbines, wind turbines, etc. Preliminary design methods using Ansys tools are also explained in few chapters. Advanced design methods and design tools are mostly used for real world turbomachinery problems and it is not covered in this course.
Basic mesh generation method is also specified in few chapters of this course. Complete course on mesh generation using Ansys Turbogrid is already available in Udemy. Two assignments are provided in this course for practicing Ansys CFX turbomachinery simulations. This will help to get hands on experience with the software.
