Instructed by Dr. Florian Menter, Chief Scientist, ANSYS Germany GmbH; developer of the widely used Shear-Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model.

OVERVIEW

Whether for aircraft, vehicles, or wind turbines, aerodynamics is a critical aspect of improving energy efficiency. Aerodynamics is a complex science — calculations need to be performed with a high degree of precision and accuracy since every 1 percent of change in aerodynamic drag or lift has enormous implications on machine performance. Aerodynamic simulation, therefore, requires accurate flow solvers, comprehensive turbulence models, and precise geometry handling.

This 8-hour on-demand course covers Turbulence Modeling for aerodynamic flows. It starts with an introduction to the challenges of turbulence simulation and the currently used modeling concepts. It then proceeds to provide deeper insight into the main modeling concepts used in today’s industrial/aeronautical CFD simulations, ranging from Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) to Scale-Resolving Simulation (SRS) techniques, like Large Eddy Simulation, and hybrid RANS-LES methods.

Though Ansys CFD software is used in the course to illustrate example models, the course content focuses on generalized physical principles and be applicable to all CFD users, regardless of your CFD software tool of choice.
