Objective

This course provides an introduction to solving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) problems with single-phase flow using COMSOL Multiphysics.  The course covers:

  • Laminar and turbulent flow using finite element analysis
  • The governing equations of mass, momentum and energy
  • Flow for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
  • Meshing requirements
  • Solver selection for complex flow conditions

For success, it is recommended that participants have a working knowledge of COMSOL Multiphysics® and possess a relevant engineering, physics, mathematics, or science background.

Paid participants will receive all course materials including a two-week trial license for the entire COMSOL Multiphysics® Suite for use during the course.

Course Content

Attendees with be led through the use of COMSOL Multiphysics® to perform analysis of single-phase flow phenomena.  The following items will be covered:

  • Fundamental principles governing CFD analysis
  • Set up of CFD analyses in COMSOL
  • Analysis of laminar and turbulent flow in fluids
  • Selection of relevant boundary conditions
  • Selection of solver settings and parameters to obtain a converged solution
  • Compressible flow
  • Flow in porous media
  • Thin film flow
  • Rotating machinery
  • Rarified Flow

Hear What Our Students are Saying

"I took the Multiphysics Solutions using COMSOL Multiphysics: An Introductory Training Course. It helped me jump start my understanding of COMSOL and how to build simulation models as well as visualize the results. I don’t regularly use COMSOL in my daily work so it is hard to remember all I learned. As a result, I often refer back to the class notes to help me remember how to do a specific task or what settings are needed to accomplish a specific action. The class and notes are valuable as a reference. AltaSim does a good job of training their students. I would recommend them for COMSOL training."

- Jim Vinson ~~ Renesas Electronics Corp.

"I attended two training courses titled "Electromagnetics in COMSOL Multiphysics: AC/DC" and "RF and Wave Optics" where I gained the necessary fundamental knowledge to dig deeper and obtain what is needed to enhance my research work. The efforts Dr. Yushanov invested in delivering the fundamental concepts have greatly helped to strengthen my understanding in building models and run simulations efficiently. These courses have also helped me to gain the required knowledge within a relatively short period of time. Thus, AltaSim Technologies, given its prestigious reputation in COMSOL training, is and will always be my first choice for training courses, as it provides all required knowledge for the most ideal habitat for my career aspiration in performing academic research."
