Getting Started Guide - Fundamentals of CFD
Welcome to our online course on “Fundamentals of CFD”. As you have just begun this course, here is a short document which will guide you on how to proceed with this course. This course could be typically finished in 2 weeks. Below is a week by week planner which will help you to get the best out of this course !!
If you have any queries during any of the lecture, feel free to contact me on mytutor@learncax.com. You can also schedule a live WebEx/Skype sessions with me to resolve your queries.
This is the overall plan designed based on my experience with previous students. The timelines are rough estimation about how much time is necessary for this course. This does not mean that you should complete your course in given timeline only. The idea is to get correct knowledge of the subject. So do not hesitate to modify this plan and extend the timeline if necessary. It is also assumed that you are not going to have any long break in-between the course. I also suggest you not to do this as you may need to repeat few lessons in that case.

Week 1
Following are the tasks you can try to achieve in the first week. The main objective is to get familiar with our Learning Management System (LMS) and to get and overview of what CFD is?
- Get yourself familiar with LearnCAx LMS
- Read the course guide
- Watch & Understand the ‘Study of fluid flows’ lecture videos
- Watch & Understand the ‘Introduction to CFD’ lecture videos
- Brush up your mind with the basics of Fluid dynamics, Heat transfer and Mathematics
Week 2
The objective of second week is to get into the heart of CFD simulations which is nothing other than the mathematics of CFD.
As compared to first week, these are bit heavy target to keep, but I believe that you have already accelerated your learning process.
- Watch & Understand the ‘CFD equations and numerical solutions’ lecture videos
- Watch & Understand the Finite Volume Method lecture videos
Enjoy your Learning!
