Convergent Divergent Nozzle Analysis in ANSYS

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the analysis and simulation of convergent-divergent (CD) nozzles using ANSYS Fluent, a leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool. Participants will explore the fundamental principles of compressible flow, including subsonic, sonic, and supersonic regimes, along with shock waves and expansion phenomena. The course emphasizes the physics behind CD nozzle operation and their applications in aerospace propulsion systems and gas turbines. Learners will gain hands-on experience in geometry creation, mesh generation, and setting up simulations within ANSYS Fluent. Key topics include boundary conditions, solver settings, and turbulence modeling for high-speed flows. Participants will also learn how to analyze pressure, temperature, velocity distributions, and Mach number variations inside the nozzle. The course highlights techniques for validating simulation results and improving accuracy. Practical case studies and real-world examples will enhance problem-solving skills. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently simulate and analyze CD nozzle performance. This course is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals interested in advanced fluid dynamics and aerospace engineering applications.
