Introduction to course5:27
Learn to solve turbulent aerodynamics with ansys cfd using numerical algorithms and Navier-Stokes equations, with geometry preparation, meshing, turbulence models, and drag analysis.

Introduction to workshop 10:50
Importing NACA 0012 coordinates into ICEMCFD9:46
Import NACA 0012 coordinates into ICEMCFD by preparing two 41-point sections for the upper and lower surfaces, then import and mesh the geometry.
Domain and parts5:22
Blocking, association and C-grid generation11:43
Premesh settings and generation of premesh of coarse mesh14:04
Configure prematch settings to generate a coarse mesh, adjust edge spacing on airfoil blocks, and copy parameters across pages for uniform meshing.
Mesh quality, mesh export, meshes for mesh independece study6:39
Assess mesh quality, convert premesh to mesh, export meshes, and increase node counts to prepare a mesh independence study with consistent boundary conditions.

Introduction0:53
Setting up case in Fluent8:48
Set up a Fluent case by configuring mesh, input files, boundary and inlet conditions, and solver settings to ensure convergence while monitoring drag and lift coefficients and angle of attack.
Post processing results at zero angle of attack (AoA)5:09
Analyze post processing results at zero angle of attack to reveal convergence across coarse, medium, and fine meshes, with drag and lift coefficients converging as mesh refinement improves.
Drag coefficient at AoA = 0 and 10 deg - Experimental vs CFD and discussion7:13
Compare experimental and cfd drag coefficients at zero and 10 degrees of angle of attack (aoa), discuss mesh refinement, error sources, and convergence in Ansys cfd for turbulent aerodynamics.
Coefficient of pressure at AoA = 0 and 10 deg along with Y+ plots5:40
Analyze the coefficient of pressure at zero and ten degrees angle of attack and review y+ plots through post-processing to compare airfoil surface behavior in ANSYS CFD for turbulent flows.
Plotting CFD Cp (coefficient of pressure) plot in excel5:13
The purpose of this lecture is to :

1. Export the Cp plot on airfoil from fluent.
2. Read in excel and reverse the y axis so that negative values should be on upper side and positive values on down side as usually we see in the literature.
3. Reason for doing so is that " negative Cp values are on upper side of airfoil and positive values are on lower side of airfoil". So in order to Cp plot in same way we need to reverse the Cp plot in excel.
4. In next lecture we will compare this (CFD) Cp plot with the Cp plot from NASA data.
Digitizing experimental Cp plot and comparing with CFD Cp in Excel9:00

Requirements

Basic knowledge of CFD is preferable but not compulsory
Minimum Specs: Computer with 4GB RAM and i3 processor

Description

In this course you will learn about the CFD of external aerodynamics. In this course first we will create geometry of airfoil in ICEMCFD and then we will create high quality hexa mesh. After that we will solve this case in Fluent.

You will run case at angle of attack zero and angle of attack 10 and compare results with NASA data for Cp, lift coefficient and drag coefficient.

In future we will introduce more complex problems. Hope to see you soon on course.
