The final step in the series, this course covers the most demanding version of each project — high-speed and reacting flows, fluid-structure interaction, UDFs, and moving geometry — the kind of coupled, multi-physics problems most CFD engineers never get past. It's built for those who want to solve undefined, real-world problems and defend their results with confidence.

Building on the fundamentals, this course tackles harder, more realistic versions of the same 16 engineering fields and flow models, introducing multi-phase interactions, transient behavior, and more demanding boundary conditions. You'll leave with the skills to handle real project complexity, not just tutorial-scale problems.

This course takes you from zero to your first working simulations in ANSYS Fluent, covering foundational projects across 16 engineering fields — aerospace, biomedical, chemical, HVAC, marine, renewable energy, and more — alongside core flow models and Fluent modules. By the end, you'll be comfortable setting up, running, and interpreting basic CFD simulations on your own.

Free Surface Flow: Beginner CFD Training Package is a ten-project introduction to free-surface and multiphase flow simulation in ANSYS Fluent. Starting from basic open-channel flow and building through channel bends and outlets, spillways of increasing complexity, moving dam structures, and three-phase weir flow, it gives newcomers a hands-on, application-driven foundation in the VOF and Eulerian multiphase techniques behind modern hydraulic and civil engineering — one real engineering case at a time.

This study investigates the effects of energy dissipation blocks on the energy dissipation efficiency of stepped spillways using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Two spillway configurations, with and without blocks, were analyzed under different flow conditions. The results showed that the presence of blocks enhanced energy dissipation by 6% compared to the conventional stepped spillway design. These findings contribute to the optimization of stepped spillway designs for improved energy dissipation and downstream channel protection.
