MAS103 3D-Modelling and CFD

Contents and structure

The course will teach students about preparing 3D CAD models for CFD simulation purposes. Students shall learn to develop models in PTC Creo and Ansys Workbench Computational. One will learn about Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a numerical method to solve problems in fluid and heat flow. It will also be possible for the simulation of the energy transfer and simulation of the interaction between the solids and fluids (Fluid Solid Interaction simulation).

 

Preparing CAD model in Creo package, preparing the necessary simplifications, correct geometry in a way to prepare proper simulation grid.

Preparing correct geometry simulating wind or water turbine. Defining flow domain and solid domain.

Preparing appropriate grid for CFD simulation, define boundary conditions, turbulence models, walls defining, etc.

Learning Outcome

Upon completing the course, students will have the following learning outcomes:

Proficiency

• Knowledge of how to prepare CAD models for CFD modeling.
• Knowledge of basic assumptions and general requirements to improve geometry for CFD applications.
• Knowledge of CFD modeling opportunity for energy transfer.
• Have knowledge of basic 2D drafting rules, manufacturing symbols, cut and relevant standards.

Skills

• Students are able to prepare the geometry of the CFD simulations with appropriate simplifications and requirements.
• Students are able to prepare the corresponding, simplified models (2D instead of 3D, using symmetry conditions, etc.), Replaces assemblies with a solid portions.
• Students are able to identify problems that can be simulated by CFD methods.
• Students are able to prepare CFD simulations with the appropriate boundary conditions, models of turbulence, fluid.
• Students are able to draw from CFD simulation results conclusions Press, speed and thermal distributions, mass and heat fluxes, forces on walls or solid bodies.

General competence

• Practice with project working.
