 Introduction
What is CFD?
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides a qualitative (and
sometimes even quantitative) prediction of fluid flows
• CFD enables scientists and engineers to perform ‘numerical experiments
(i.e. computer simulations) in a ‘virtual flow laboratory’

 Application
• HVAC
• Hydraulics
• Marine Oil & Gas
• Power Generation
• Sports
• Aerospace
• Biomedical
• F18 Store Separation
• Automotive
• Temperature and natural convection currents in the eye
following laser heating.

 Why Use CFD?
• Numerical simulations of fluid flow (will) enable
• • architects to design comfortable and safe living environments
• • designers of vehicles to improve the aerodynamic characteristics
• • chemical engineers to maximize the yield from their equipment
• • petroleum engineers to devise optimal oil recovery strategies
• • surgeons to cure arterial diseases (computational
hemodynamics)
• • meteorologists to forecast the weather and warn of natural
disasters
• • safety experts to reduce health risks from radiation and other
hazards
• • military organizations to develop weapons and estimate the
damage

 CFD Analysis Process

 EXAMPLE
• Aerospace
We will model the wing using the
Ansys Design Modeler. Then we
will put the wing in an air duct and
give air to the wing from the right
direction. As a result, we will find
out how much load the wing we
modeled can handle.

 Example

We will find the junction point of

the lifting forces acting to the wing,
which we call the pressure center.
We will find the point to be affected
under pressure and make
comments about whether it should
be close to the body or far away.

 Example
• Centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pumps are a most
commonly used in different
fields like industries,
agriculture and domestic
applications. Computational
Fluid Dynamics is most
commonly used tool for
simulation and analysis. 3-D
numerical CFD tool is used for
simulation of the flow field
characteristics inside the turbo
machinery. CFD simulation
makes it possible to visualize
the flow condition inside
centrifugal pump.

 Advantages of CFD Low Cost Speed Ability to
Simulate Real Conditions
• Using physical experiments and tests to get essential
engineering data for design can be expensive.
• Computational simulations are relatively inexpensive, and
costs are likely to decrease as computers become more
powerful.
• Speed
• CFD simulations can be executed in a short period of time.
• Quick turnaround means engineering data can be introduced
early in the design process
• Ability to Simulate Real Conditions
• CFD provides the ability to theoretically simulate any
physical condition

 Limitations of CFD Physical Models Numerical
Errors
• CFD solutions rely upon physical models of real world processes
(e.g. turbulence, compressibility, chemistry, multiphase flow,
etc.).The solutions that are obtained through CFD can only be as
accurate as the physical models on which they are based.
• Numerical Errors
• Solving equations on a computer invariably introduces numerical
errors
• Round-off error - errors due to finite word size available on the
computer
• Truncation error - error due to approximations in the numerical
models
• Round-off errors will always exist (though they should be small in
most cases)Truncation errors will go to zero as the grid is refined -
so mesh refinement is one way to deal with truncation error.

 Summary
• Computational Fluid Dynamics is a powerful
way of modeling fluid flow, heat transfer, and
related processes for a wide range of important
scientific and engineering problems.
• The cost of doing CFD has decreased
dramatically in recent years, and will continue
to do so as computers become more and more
powerful
