Course Description:
This course is designed for a complete beginner in Computational fluid dynamics. You will learn to solve practical problems using one of the most widely used and popular CFD software, ANSYS Fluent. You will not only learn ANSYS Fluent solver, but also the preprocessing method and tools like ANSYS SpaceClaim, Fluent Mesher, and post-processing tool ANSYS CFD Post in this course. This course will also touch upon the most important theoretical concepts of CFD which are mandatory to learn along with tool knowledge. A dedicated module is made for ANSYS Fluent meshing before moving on to solve several practical engineering problems using ANSYS Fluent solver. This course also covers scripting and automation which includes writing your own UDFs, journal files, and expressions.

Ratings and Reviews
KISHORE BABU BHUMULA This course provided a comprehensive and practical understanding of ANSYS Fluent from beginner to advanced level. The step-by-step explanations, real engineering examples, and hands-on assignments on meshing, solver setup, post-processing, journal files, UDFs, and cavitation helped me build confidence in CFD simulations. The lessons are well structured and easy to follow. I highly recommend this.
Tejas I recently completed the ANSYS Fluent course from Flowthermolab, and it was an excellent experience. The lessons are clearly explained and well-structured, making complex concepts easy to understand. The assignments were especially helpful in building my confidence with ANSYS Fluent. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get strong hands-on experience in CFD.
Sylvestre Sengna Mvondo A great and extensive overview of the possibilities to model different types of problems with Ansys Fluent. From a complete newby I feel now confident to tackle any fluid mechanics problem with Ansys Fluent. Thank you !
Rajeev Kumar Thank you so much, sir. I learned a lot from this advanced course. The course provided me with a strong understanding of the basic fundamentals of ANSYS Fluent.
Carlos Antonio Barajas With simple, fast, and straightforward explanations, without unnecessary confusion. It also includes a forum where you can ask your questions, and the instructors are attentive to them. A very good course to start learning Ansys Fluent.
shanju jossian I really enjoyed the course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.
Saalim Sandeep sir is very excellent and really an extraordinary CFD engineer i have ever seen in my life
Sa!f The course was good; it at least covered all the verticals of Ansys Fluent
Sebastian This course is outstanding for many reasons, I would first highlight the completeness of it because it makes you understand everything from the very beginning and until the smallest detail in such a complex program like Fluent. It also offers a great explanation of the important theory before putting it into practice, so this course doesn't feel like a tutorial but like real training.
An excellent course with clear explanations and practical assignments that made Fluent easy to learn, even for someone with a design background.
