Group No. 12 - Now Enrolling

A 3-month CFD apprenticeship. Built around the engineer you want to become.

You ship real ANSYS Fluent projects on our HPC cluster, with a senior CFD engineer reviewing your mesh, your physics, and your post-processing every week. Most participants finish with a portfolio piece they're proud to put in front of an employer or thesis committee.

Be aware

Yes, this program is paid.

We say it loudly so nobody books a call expecting it to be free. Tuition funds your mentor's time and your HPC hours.

Be aware

Real engineering, not a syllabus.

You work on live industrial and research briefs. Your mentor reviews mesh, physics, and post-processing weekly.

Be aware

Selective intake.

We accept engineers and graduate students who can commit to the cadence. We turn down applicants who can't.

Section 01

What's actually included.

There are no upsells. The number you see at the top covers everything below - including HPC time, mentor reviews, and the certificate at the end.

  • Weekly 1-on-1 review with a senior CFD engineer

    Mesh quality, solver settings, convergence, and the way you talk about your results - all reviewed line by line.

  • 24/7 access to our HPC cluster

    You won't simulate on a laptop. Run multiphase, conjugate heat transfer, and LES jobs on real hardware without renting cores yourself.

  • The full MR CFD training library

    Hundreds of recorded walkthroughs covering turbulence models, multiphase flows, optimization, and post-processing.

  • Two real industrial or research briefs

    You pick the domain - turbomachinery, aerodynamics, biomedical, HVAC. We hand you the brief, you run it like a junior consultant would.

  • A certificate signed by MR CFD

    Issued at completion. Recognised by the employers and academic supervisors who already work with us.

  • A reference letter you can actually use

    Written by your mentor, based on your work - not a template. Useful for jobs, PhD applications, and visa files.

  • Quiet support after the program ends

    You can email your mentor with technical questions long after the three months are over. We don't put a clock on it.

Section 02

No two interns follow the same path.

Before your first session, your mentor reads your background and asks what you actually want out of three months. A masters student preparing a thesis defence and a working engineer pivoting into combustion need very different programs. We design yours from there.

Two engineers can be in the same group, working on entirely different physics, and both finish with a portfolio piece that fits their next move.

Profile

Final-year student

Thesis-ready turbulence study, defended cleanly

Profile

Junior R&D engineer

Working knowledge of conjugate heat transfer for HVAC briefs

Profile

Career changer

Portfolio of three Fluent projects, with annotated reports

Profile

PhD candidate

Validated multiphase model that survives external review

Section 03

Pick the field you want to graduate fluent in.

Tell us at the application stage. Your mentor is matched to your field - not the other way around.

HVAC & Data Centers

Airflow optimization, Thermal management, PUE improvement, Hot/cold aisle containment

Aerodynamics & Marine

Drag reduction, Lift optimization, Wake analysis, Hull hydrodynamics

Heat Transfer & Power

Conjugate heat transfer, Heat exchanger design, Cooling systems, Combustion

Turbomachinery

Pump & turbine design, Blade optimization, Cavitation analysis, Performance curves

Biomedical Engineering

Blood flow simulation, Respiratory modeling, Drug delivery, Medical device design

Environmental & Civil

Wind load analysis, Pollutant dispersion, River flow modeling, Urban microclimate

Your field isn't listed?

These six are the most common, not the limit. Combustion, electrochemistry, FSI, MHD, acoustics, atmospheric flow - if it runs in Fluent, we have a mentor for it. Pick "Other" in the form and tell us what you want to work on.

Section 04

What a typical week looks like.

You won't spend three months watching pre-recorded videos. The work is structured, but it's yours.

01

Monday - brief & plan

Mentor walks through the week's objectives. You commit to a deliverable: a meshed geometry, a converged run, a draft report.

02

Tue–Thu - heads-down

You work on the cluster. Async support over chat for blockers. Recordings of relevant techniques delivered when you ask.

03

Friday - review

Live screen-share. Mentor critiques your mesh quality, residuals, and the way you'd defend the result to a stakeholder.

04

Saturday - write up

You document the week the way a junior engineer would document for a senior. By month two, this becomes second nature.

Section 05

Apply alone or with up to 5. The more of you, the less each pays.

Pick how many of you are applying together and the per-seat price drops automatically. The program is the same either way - same mentor, same HPC access, same certificate. Every detail of how you split the bill is decided after your call with us.

How many of you are applying?

Each extra seat cuts more off the group total - applying as 5 saves $3,200.

2 of you save $500 together. That's $250 off each seat.

3 of you save $1,200 together. That's $400 off each seat.

4 of you save $2,100 together. That's $525 off each seat.

5 of you save $3,200 together. That's $640 off each seat.

Refund policy applies if we cancel a group. See the program agreement before payment.

Section 06

Who we accept. Who we don't.

We turn down applicants who can't commit to the cadence. That's not gatekeeping - it's how we keep the program worth its tuition. Read both lists honestly before you apply.

You're a fit if

  • You're a senior undergraduate, graduate student, researcher, or working engineer
  • You've at least opened ANSYS Fluent or a comparable solver before
  • You can spend roughly three hours a day on the program for three months
  • You're comfortable presenting your own work and taking blunt feedback

You shouldn't apply if

  • You expected this to be free - please don't book a call to ask
  • You're looking for a passive course you can binge on weekends
  • You can't commit weekday time for the full three months
  • You want someone else to do your thesis or project for you
Application form ~3 minutes
You won't be charged on this page. Sending the form just gets your application to a program advisor. They'll email you back, walk you through the program, and only then send a payment link if it's a fit.

Section 08

Questions worth answering plainly.

It carries weight with the engineering teams and academic supervisors who already know MR CFD. We won't pretend it's an ABET-accredited degree. What it does prove is three months of mentored, reviewed work on real briefs - which is what hiring managers actually want to see.

Yes. The program is fully online and we've had interns join from over forty countries. Sessions are scheduled around your time zone.

We extend your program at no extra cost. We'd rather you finish well than rush a deliverable. Just talk to your mentor early - last-minute is harder to accommodate than two weeks ahead.

You don't. You'll work through our environment for the duration of the program. If you want to keep using Fluent after the internship, your mentor can advise on licensing options that fit your situation.

Yes, on either payment plan. Tell us at the application stage whether you need it issued to you personally or to an institution - we'll match the invoice to whoever is paying.

A modern browser, a stable internet connection, and a video chat tool for the weekly review. Heavy compute happens on our HPC cluster, not on your laptop.

Many interns do. We discuss extensions case by case, usually with a continuation rate that's lower than the initial tuition. The same mentor stays with you.

In most cases, yes. We've provided supervisor letters, time sheets, and project descriptions to students whose programs require formal documentation. Send us your university's template and we'll work from it.

Question we haven't answered?

info@mr-cfd.com

Three months from now, you can have a portfolio piece a senior engineer reviewed line by line.

Or you can keep watching free tutorials. Both are valid. Only one ends with a certificate, an HPC-run project, and a reference letter from someone who actually watched you work.

Not ready today?

Groups fill on a first-come basis. Send us a short application now and we'll hold your place while you decide between the two payment plans.
