Core Objective:

This webinar will inform the audience about the core capabilities of Fluent’s virtual fluids laboratory, FlowLab. Case studies will be reviewed to highlight how this student-friendly CFD tool has been used at the University of Iowa, at Penn State University, and by other North American universities.

FlowLab provides predefined CFD exercises and the power of flow visualization for teaching the principles of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. The software runs Fluent's general purpose CFD code, FLUENT, and pre- processor, GAMBIT, in the background behind a user-friendly, student-specific graphical user interface (GUI). FlowLab eliminates the long learning curve associated with general fluid flow modeling packages, making it easy to deploy as part of the undergraduate curriculum.

Prerequisites:

Attendees should have interest in using a CFD tool in the undergraduate curriculum.
