Ansys CFD Turbulence Modeling

Overview

Turbulence often plays a key role in industrial processes. The understanding of turbulence and its related phenomena is important to optimize processes or products. Ansys CFD (Fluent and CFX) offers a comprehensive suite of the most advanced turbulence model formulations, covering a broad range of flow regimes from simple to the most complex flows. 

This premium learning material on Modeling Turbulent Flows with Ansys CFD (Fluent and CFX) is designed for both new and existing users of Ansys CFD (Fluent and CFX) and will be covering the following topics:

• Overview of Engineering Turbulence Models
• Basics of Eddy Viscosity Models 
• Near Wall Modeling
• Advanced Eddy Viscosity Models
• Transition Modeling
• Scale-Resolving Simulations
• Best Practices and Outlook 

Learning Outcomes

Following completion of this premium learning material, you will learn about:

• The physics of turbulence and the various modeling approaches for industrial flows. 
• The essentials of the eddy viscosity models, routinely used in industrial applications. 
• The importance of the proper near wall modeling and how this is done in Ansys CFD.
• The various advanced Eddy Viscosity models available in Ansys CFD, the underlying principles of their development and evolution, and their systemization by the adoption of the ω-equation. 
• The physical mechanisms of laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition, the relevant models available in Ansys CFD and when you should be using them in your simulations. 
• The basics understanding of advanced Reynolds Stress Models.
• How and when to use scale resolving simulations such as LES and hybrid RANS-LES
• Some best practices to keep in mind while performing simulations involving turbulence using Ansys CFD tools. 

You will have the chance to go hands-on and implement your learnings through multiple workshops.
