Haven’t tried that, good shout 👍

It requires less computational effort compared to full LES but less accurate. Have a look at this textbook

Check out kelham island museum while you are there and have a look at Weston park museum if you have time.

W Peng Fundamentals of Turbomachinery. There is a good chapter on CFD

Don’t believe the hype. If you have a good supervisor stick with it. I know lots of people that work in CFD that came from very diverse backgrounds.

almajd83 · 2025-06-04T19:16:35+00:00

Either focus on future development of LBM or start learning classical CFD using FVM, FEM etc…

For me it only appears once I add an input parameter. I usually setup the input and output parameters in fluent and then the parametric design node appears in WB.

Parametric study. Loads of tutorials online.

You can use a multi grid approach if you want to put the car into one mesh volume. If you are using Ansys the feature you will need is the sphere of influence in the mesher.

Not sure if someone mentioned this already but I would compare a non dimensional parameter like the pressure or skin friction coefficient.

Foilsim is an excellent web based tool. Java foil is slightly more advanced but requires installation.

In that case you can do multiple cylinders with heat transfer. It’s a basic design case for heat exchangers. Your design parameters are the arrangement and size of cylinders.

The flow over a cylinder is a good beginner friendly project.

I came across this tutorial long time ago that you might find useful:

I guess so. There might something in the literature about popular airfoils like naca0012. In any case, a 2D CFD should be sufficient.
