The Best way to study CFD?

Haroon10 · June 7, 2009, 05:43

I will start attending a basic course on CFD starting tomorrow.

Please give me some tips and things to watch out, good approaches, or just anything that may be greatly helpful in my studies in this subject. I intend to take it very seriously.

Warmest Regards

I'd suggest that if you have access to some commercial package like Fluent or STAR CD, then go through the software as you are learning the course. You might learn a lot in the course with respect to various discretization schemes, convergence etc. But you will be able to understand these better if you play around with the softwares and can co-relate the terms that you learn with what you actually see and use.

vishyaroon thank you we are being taught ANSYS CFX side by side with basic CFD. Please let me know if you have any more advice for me.

I suggest to also develop your own codes to really understand all the implementation issues.
