Fluent Advanced Training: Underhood & Underbody Thermal Modeling
This course is for FLUENT users in the automotive industry who are interested in expanding their modeling knowledge in the areas of underhood and underbody thermal analysis. Attendees must have completed FLUENT introductory training and it is recommended that they have at least one year of experience using the software.
Date: April 11, 2006
Location: Fluent Inc., 3005 Boardwalk, Suite 100, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Organizer: Fluent Inc.
Application Areas: Automotive
Softwares: FLUENT
Type of Event: Course, National
 
Description:

Students can expect to learn: 
*the motivation behind this type of analysis 
  -common to all CFD analysis: to reduce cost, turnaround 
time, in packing of underhood cooling system and other 
components 
  -prototype building is extremely expensive 
*preprocessing challenges typical for these applications 
and ways of addressing them 
*models available in FLUENT for performing 
underhood/underbody analyses on either component or system 
levels; specifically, 
  -cooling package performance such as coolant inlet 
temperatures for a given engine power; air flow rate; 
total heat rejection for a given coolant inlet temperature 
front end simulations (from grilles to engine) including 
component temperatures 
  -complete underhood simulations 
  -complete underbody simulations 

Students will have hands-on workstation time to complete 
tutorials with Fluent training experts standing by for 
questions.
