Dimensional Analysis and Similarity

The focus of this course is on dimensional analysis and similarity. We will first explore the idea and importance of geometric and dynamic similarity. Next, we will identify some important dimensional numbers and use them to non-dimensionalize the Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we will explore the Buckingham-Pi Theorem, which provides a mathematically formal basis for deriving non-dimensional groups for any physical problem. By using Ansys Fluent to solve simulation examples and homework, you will get hands-on experience and deepen your understanding of the concepts studied in this course.

A course completion badge allows you to showcase your success. We partner with Credly’s Acclaim platform, and digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes and social media sites. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in our course and the topics and skills that were covered. This badge is for successfully completing the Dimensional Analysis and Similarity course.
