Course overview

The Advanced Turbomachinery Simulations using CONVERGE Certification Course offered by Skill Lync provides extensive training to learners in three months regarding computational fluid Dynamics theory and its application in internal flows. The course lays special focus on simulating the superchargers, centrifugal pumps, and turbochargers.

Problems and assignments posed in this course would strike the brains of learners and drive them to think over and understand important concepts like where the fluid separates and how fluid flows through turbomachines, apart from a comprehensive insight into a recirculation zone where it gets generated. The faculty will also engage in active discussions regarding the plot performance curve for different applications, besides answering how the shape of outlet runners and the shape of blades affect the results.

The opportunity to work on software like Converge will be convenient and robust, given that the meshing is automated, leading to saving a lot of time and effort. Skill Lync will offer various other complementary services including resolution of doubts via email and Whatsapp. Finally, candidates will attain deep-rooted knowledge of important theories revolving around the concepts of Cavitation, Turbulence (RANS), and CHT.

What you will learn

Knowledge of engineering

Advanced Turbomachinery Simulations using CONVERGE Certification Course offers optimum learning to candidates with insights on everything they need to know about turbomachinery stimulations and beyond. At the end of the course, they will attain the following learning outcomes-

Instructions on how to set up a CFD simulation using CONVERGE CFD.
Encountering complex problems comprising different zones where they will have to set up the case for different values for thermodynamic properties like temperature or pressure.
Discussion of shock tube problem.
Process of stimulation of cavitation.
Creating volumetric regions.
Initialising temperature, pressure, and species concentration in different flow regions.
Choosing turbulence and combustion models
Inputting valve timing
Running the case in a parallel environment
Decomposing the model into boundaries and volumetric regions

The syllabus

Week 1 : CONVERGE studio module

CAD import and cleanup
Decomposing the model into boundaries and volumetric regions
Inputting valve timing
Choosing turbulence and combustion models
Running the case in a parallel environment
Post-processing

Week 2 : Surface Preparation

Setting up the moving boundaries
Geometry cleanup

Week 3 : Regions and Initialization

Initializing pressure, temperature, and species concentration in different flow regions
Disconnecting triangles
While setting up the case, one will come across complex problems where there will be different zones where the value for any thermodynamic properties like Pressure or temperature will be different and set up the case accordingly, CONVERGE provides a very good feature of creating a region (volumetric region) in which there will be particular value for the pressure, a temperature that user will provide according to his needs.
A very good example of the application of regions and initialization is a SHOCK TUBE problem in which there are 2 chambers filled with fluid, one at high pressure and the other at low pressure and these 2 regions are separated with the help of the diaphragm. Now to set up such cases, a feature of Regions and Initialization seems to be important and useful.
After creating 2 regions, we need to provide initial values to both regions accordingly and this is how students will learn to create volumetric regions.

Week 4 : Turbulence Modelling

Here, students will learn about the RANS approach to model turbulence.
You will get to appreciate the mathematics involved behind RANS and will learn the derivation part as well.
You will learn various turbulence models available like (RNG k-ε, k-ω SST, etc) and understand which model is suitable for which application.
Mostly, RNG k-ε suits best for Internal flows and k-ω SST suits best for external flows.

Week 5 : Cavitation Modelling

In this module, you will learn how Cavitation can be simulated.
We will be focussing on the Volume of Fluid Method (VOF).
You will also learn about VOID FRACTION which is the basis of the VOF method.
