Open Channel Flow: Beginner CFD Training Package is a ten-project introduction to open-channel and free-surface flow simulation in ANSYS Fluent. Starting from basic open-channel flow and building through channel bends and outlets, river pollutant transport, spillways, sea waves, and moving bodies up to sub-oceanic volcanic activity, it gives newcomers a hands-on, application-driven foundation in the VOF and free-surface techniques behind modern hydraulic and environmental engineering — one real engineering case at a time.

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.

LES–VOF simulation of multiphase open-channel flow in a U-shaped channel using ANSYS Fluent. Geometry built in DesignModeler; hexa-dominant ANSYS Meshing with local refinement near the baffle, cylinder array, bend walls, and free surface. Open-channel VOF captures the air–water free surface; LES resolves unsteady vortices (Δt = 0.01 s). Results show interface deformation, outer-wall acceleration, inner-wall separation, and vortex shedding past baffle/cylinders.

This report presents a numerical simulation study of an open channel flow interacting with a rope and sphere using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method. The geometry was created in SpaceClaim, meshed in ANSYS Meshing, and the flow field was solved using ANSYS Fluent. The drag forces obtained from Fluent were applied to the rope and sphere geometry in ANSYS Transient Structural.

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.
