This course is one of the most practical and in-demand CFD training programs available online, designed to take your skills from beginner to expert in no time.
Whether you’re looking to start a career in computational fluid dynamics or level up your current skills, this course is tailored to teach Ansys CFD at a professional level. You’ll master how to solve real-world fluid dynamics challenges using CFD techniques, from the basics of geometry creation and meshing to advanced solution processing. By the end, you’ll be equipped with cutting-edge CFD skills in both external aerodynamics and turbomachinery, making you industry-ready.
We focus on hands-on learning, so you won’t just learn theory—you’ll dive deep into the full process of CFD simulation. You’ll learn how to extract critical data, build and clean geometries, and develop computational domains using top-tier software like SpaceClaim and DesignModeler. You’ll then take those geometries through advanced meshing with ICEMCFD and import them into Fluent or CFX to iteratively solve complex flow and heat transfer problems. You’ll also cover essential topics like selecting the right turbulence models, setting optimal Y+ values, and applying effective boundary conditions to enhance your simulations.
Once the solution phase is complete, you’ll learn how to post-process results, interpret them effectively, and compare them to real-world data—ensuring that you’re delivering the highest-quality CFD analysis, even when experimental data isn’t available.

How long do I have access to the course materials?
You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
