Computational Fluid Dynamics Fundamentals Course 3

GroupLayout: "Computational Fluid Dynamics Fundamentals Course Part 3: Unstructured Meshes and Mesh Quality" with Dr Aidan Wimshurst

🚀 Course Overview: Dive deeper into the world of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as we explore the intricacies of unstructured meshes and their quality metrics. This course is a continuation from Part 1 and Part 2, where the fundamentals were laid out, and now it's time to build upon that foundation with real-world applications. Get ready to understand and apply the CFD equations for unstructured mesh discretisation using practical Excel sheets and Python source code. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional looking to expand your skills, this course will equip you with the knowledge to handle complex geometries with ease!

📚 What You'll Learn:

• Understanding Unstructured Meshes: We'll start from the basics of what unstructured meshes are and how they differ from structured meshes.
• Mesh Quality Metrics: Discover the critical metrics that determine a mesh's quality - Aspect Ratio, Non-Orthogonality, Skewness, and Jacobian Determinant.
• Mesh Generation Techniques: Learn about different methods for generating unstructured meshes suitable for CFD simulations.
• Discretisation of the CFD Equations: Extend your knowledge from structured to unstructured meshes, learning how the equations are discretised in a flexible and robust manner.
• Mesh Quality Assessment: Understand how to assess the quality of unstructured meshes and the implications for your simulation results.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• No Prior Experience Required: Beginners welcome! You don't need any prior CFD knowledge or coding experience to follow along.
• Hands-On Learning: Get your hands dirty with Excel sheets and Python code that will help you apply what you learn in real-time.
• Applicable Across CFD Codes: While this course is not tied to any specific CFD software like ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, Star CCM+, or Saturne, the principles learned are applicable across all of them.
• Expert Guidance: Learn from Dr Aidan Wimshurst, whose expertise in CFD will guide you through each concept with clarity and precision.

🎓 Who Is This Course For?
