CFD Simulation Through a Centrifugal Pump

Overview

In this hands-on project, you will learn about Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and perform a pump simulation using the cloud-based simulation tool SimScale. We will set up simulation cases with provided geometries to learn the fundamentals of CFD and how a pump simulation is approached and set up in the first place. We will walk through the classical three step process of every simulation which includes the pre-processing, processing and post-processing step.

SimScale is an engineering simulation platform that is revolutionizing the way engineers, designers, scientists, and students design products. The SimScale platform is accessible completely via a standard web browser, with an easy-to-use interface which supports numerous simulation types including solid mechanics (FEM), fluid dynamics (CFD) & thermodynamics.

This course runs on Coursera's hands-on project platform called Rhyme. On Rhyme, you do projects in a hands-on manner in your browser. You will get instant access to pre-configured cloud desktops containing all of the software and data you need for the project, for this project you need no special setup or any data. Everything is already set up directly in your internet browser so you can just focus on learning!

Notes:

- This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

Structured courses with graded quizzes, assignments and deadlines you can reset.
A shareable certificate from the university or company when you pay.
Financial aid is often approved for students in India (apply 15 days before you need it).
Self-paced: start any time.

Disadvantages

Paid after a 7-day free trial (Coursera Plus or per course).
Some courses can be audited for free, but graded work and certificates need payment.
Short (1 hour): an overview, not deep coverage.

Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.
