What Is The Best CFD Workflow For Engineers? - Mechanical Engineering Explained

What Is The Best CFD Workflow For Engineers? Have you ever wondered how engineers simulate fluid flow and heat transfer to improve product designs? In this comprehensive video, we’ll walk you through the essential steps of a CFD workflow that engineers rely on for accurate and efficient analysis. We’ll start by explaining how to clearly define the problem, including setting objectives and identifying physical phenomena involved. Next, we’ll cover the process of creating detailed 3D models, whether using CAD software or building directly within CFD tools, and how to balance detail with computational efficiency.

Then, we’ll discuss the importance of mesh generation—dividing the model into tiny elements—and how to optimize mesh quality in critical areas for better results. We’ll also explain how to set up simulations by choosing appropriate physical models, inputting material properties, and defining boundary conditions. Once the setup is complete, we’ll guide you through running the solver, monitoring convergence, and analyzing results using visualization tools to interpret flow patterns, pressure, and temperature distributions.

Finally, we’ll highlight the significance of validation, verification, and iterative refinement to ensure your CFD results are reliable. Whether you’re using industry-standard software like ANSYS Fluent or cloud platforms such as SimScale, following this workflow helps produce dependable insights for better engineering decisions.
