Workshop Details:
This workshop is designed for students/Engineers who are interested in learning not just about CFD of Turbomachines but also the theory of turbomachines and the complete design process. In the first part of the workshop, the theory of turbomachines will be taught in detail. Here you will learn the fundamentals including Euler equations, velocity triangles, efficiencies, design parameters, and all-important terminologies and equations about turbomachines a CFD Engineer must know. In the second part, you will learn the fundamentals of the design of turbomachines along with practical sessions using tools like Vista, BladeGen, Turbogrid, and CFX. Then you will learn the details of CFD modeling techniques of turbomachines like the MRF approach, with tutorial sessions using CFX and Fluent. This workshop is designed for a beginner in the CFD and turbomachine domain. Prior experience with CFD especially the fundamentals will be useful.

Ratings and Reviews
Suyash Patil This course provides a perfect starting point for someone who wants to pursue a career or want to learn deeper in the field of turbomachines.
María Manuela The course was structured in 3 sections led by 3 different professors. The first one, the professor mades a good foundation on theory of turbomachines. Sadly the 2nd professor due to short time did not cover in detail everything he exposed. Final segment is lead by Mr Sandeep which detailed explains the CFD guideline and states a designer criteria, which closes wonderfully the workshop.
Ahmet Çaka This course provides theoretical knowledge on turbomachinery and hands-on experience with CFD simulations. By enrolling, you’ll gain valuable insights, especially into the industrial approach to turbomachinery design. While there’s always more to learn, this course is an excellent starting point. Special thanks to Sandeep Mouvanal and the other instructors!
Unknown Member This course provided me with new knowledge about compressor and turbine design, using ANSYS tools like ANSYS CFX, ANSYS VISTA, and ANSYS Turbogrid. Also, the keys provided to calculate the primitive parameters of these turbomachinery components have been a great aid in carrying out my designs. Thanks and congratulations!!
Ranjan Pattnaik This course teaches you the SRF approach and the MRF approach very thoroughly. Dr. Sandeep and Dr. Dhiman have done a commendable job with this course. 10/10 would recommend.
Kok Tong Lim It is very good course to understand basic knowledge on turbomachinery and usage of CFX on analyzing pump fluid mechanics. I could not catch up much with the theory as it is a bit deep down in physics but good experience to have surface knowledge on theory of turbomachinery!
abhi_mulay I was novice for both design and analysis of turbomachines. From defining types, design considerations to full CFD analysis this course covers everything. It start with theory for turbines and impellers and ends with hands on with an practical example. It is an privilege to learn this from experts from Academics and Industrial background.
I learned a lot about Theory part and get hands on simulation in ansys
