Profile
The framework used in this course for solving fluid dynamics problems can be applied to a wide array of situations and contexts. You will work on a 2D incompressible laminar flow problem in Ansys. Working with 2D flow simulations will help prepare you to create reliable fluid flow simulations for more complex 3D applications such as a car body, fan, and airplane. The course is provided by eCornell in partnership with Genashtim
