Detailed Descriptions of the ANSYS CFX in Workbench Course

Workshop 1a - Orientation of Workbench Interface and DesignModeler Sketching

In this workshop we introduce the Workbench environment and sketching in DesignModeler. A small model is created from scratch so the users gain some experience with the user interface.

 
Workshop 1b - Extraction of Fluid Domain

In this workshop we introduce the use of DesignModeler and create a fluid domain from previously provided structural geometry.

Workshop 2a - Meshing a Fluid Domain

This workshop demonstrates the various meshing controls available in CFX-Mesh and the associativity between DesignModeler and CFX-Mesh using a parametric domain.

Workshop 2b - Creating and Combining Multiple Domain Meshes

This workshop creates both a swept hexagonal mesh with boundary layer and a nonuniform tetrahedral mesh and combines them into a single domain for solving.

Workshop 3 - Single Phase Flow and Fluid-Structure Interaction

This workshop demonstrates how to conduct a simple flow analysis in CFX and transfer the pressure boundary conditions to Workbench Simulation for subsequent FEA analysis. Relative flow rates are also examined.

Workshop 4- Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulation of Cooling Fin

This workshop covers the creation of a conjugate heat transfer model between two different fluid domains and a tube with heat fins. Downstream flow temperatures and heat transfer coefficients for the fins are calculated.

Workshop 5 - Multiphase Flow in Sand Mixing Tank

For this workshop the fluid domain is extracted from a tank and then various sand and water flows are applied to the inlets of the tank. Initial locations of erosion is predicted along with the rate of erosion on the tank walls.

 
Workshop 6 - Rotating Frames of Reference Example of a Fan

For this workshop the fluid domain is extracted from a fan and shroud. The domain is specified to be rotating at 360 RPM while the downstream average air velocity and shaft torque is calculated.

Workshop 7 - Transient Thermal Analysis of Electronics Package

For this workshop the fluid domain is extracted from a full 360 degree solid model. The heat source is surrounded by a circular heat sink to help convect away heat as 50W of energy is applied. The transient heat up is calculated.

Workshop 8- Moving Boundaries in a Ball Check Valve

A cross section of a fluid domain is extracted from solid geometry for this simulation. The ball is then allowed to freely move in the stream as it is subjected to a drop in downstream pressure. The maximum displacement of the ball and its final location in the valve are predicted.
