LECTURE - 1
Best Practices: Tips & Tricks for Successful Fluid Flow Simulations using ANSYS CFD
At the execution level, most often than not, considerable amount of time in any CFD simulation goes
into problem setup and resolving the convergence issues. The convergence issues arising out of many
factors will end up affecting the productivity. The effect is much more pronounced when attempting
to solve new domain or physics for the first time or when the problem is being attempted by relatively
new user. By following established best practices and guidelines we can improve the productivity
quite significantly.
This session is aimed at equipping yourself with such best practices for various applications ranging
from Multiphase flows, Compressible Flows to Post Processing using ANSYS CFD simulations tools.
The outline for the Best Practices session is as below. Each of these sessions will be presented by
experienced ANSYS employees with more than five years of experience in respective physics and
domain.
•
Multiphase Flows
Selection of Right Multiphase model
Choosing correct options for Multiphase models
Avoiding convergence Issues in VOF, DPM and Eulerian Models
•

LECTURE - 2
Productivity Improvement in CFD Pre-processing
This program will focus on improving the productivity of CFD preprocessing through new and
advanced features of ANSYS R15 products. ANSYS believes that capturing the geometry well in a
preprocessing tool and creating a good quality mesh is a prerequisite for any accurate CFD analysis.
ANSYS has and would always continue to focus in this area of product development. R15 has been a
great step forward in this respect and this workshop will focus on live demonstration of preprocessing
concepts that can help create an efficient modeling approach and meshing strategies. In addition,
focus will be on showcasing strategies, tips and tricks of handling complex geometries that improves
the users’ efficiency and speed through several examples.
TOPICS HIGHLIGHTS
•
Demonstration of different Design Modeler features for handling dirty and Complex Model
•
Creating effective and optimum mesh in complex geometries using multiple strategies with
special emphasize on hex/hybrid meshing
•
Taking advantage of ANSYS workbench platform for parametric geometry and meshing, exploring
how parametric CAD geometry can be handled efficiently in ANSYS Workbench platform and
thereby reducing the overall preprocessing time
•
