CFD.NINJA – ANSYS CFD
CFD.NINJA is a group founded in 2014, since then we have been dedicated to the research and dissemination of topics related to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for which we use various CFD simulation software such as ANSYS FLUENT, ANSYS CFX, ANSYS MESHING, ANSYS ICEM CFD, OpenFoam, DesignModeler, SpaceClaim, Rocky DEM, Autodesk Inventor, Ensight, etc.
We invite you to subscribe to our youtube channel, Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram where we share monthly ANSYS CFD tutorials. Eventually, we do a giveaway for CFD books and gift cards where our subscribers participate.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a tool with amazing flexibility, accuracy and breadth of application. But serious CFD, the kind that provides insights to help you optimize your designs, can be out of reach unless you choose your software carefully. To get serious CFD results, you need serious software. Ansys CFD goes beyond qualitative results to deliver accurate quantitative predictions of fluid interactions and trade-offs. These insights reveal unexpected opportunities for your product — opportunities that even experienced engineering analysts can miss.
Ansys Fluent Tutorials
Source: Ansys
Fluent software contains the broad, physical modeling capabilities needed to model flow, turbulence, heat transfer and reactions for industrial applications. These range from air flow over an aircraft wing to combustion in a furnace, from bubble columns to oil platforms, from blood flow to semiconductor manufacturing and from clean room design to wastewater treatment plants. Fluent spans an expansive range, including special models, with capabilities to model in-cylinder combustion, aero-acoustics, turbomachinery and multiphase systems.
Ansys Fluent – Heat Transfer & Counter Flow
Source: Thermex First we need to understand what the differences are between counter flow and parallel flow. As a brief description; the term refers to the relationship between the flow directions of the hot and cold fluids. With parallel flow the fluids are...
Ansys Fluent – Heat transfer through pipes
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal...
Ansys Fluent – Drag Coefficient (Reference Values) Cube 3D
Source: NASA The drag coefficient is a number that aerodynamicists use to model all of the complex dependencies of shape, inclination, and flow conditions on aircraft drag. This equation is simply a rearrangement of the drag equation where we solve for the drag...
Ansys CFX Tutorials

Ansys CFX is a high-performance computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software tool that delivers reliable and accurate solutions quickly and robustly across a wide range of CFD and multiphysics applications. CFX is recognized for its outstanding accuracy, robustness and speed when simulating turbomachinery, such as pumps, fans, compressors and gas and hydraulic turbines.
Ansys CFX – Compressible Flow
Source: Ansys Compressibility effects are encountered in gas flows at high velocity and/or in which there are large pressure variations. When the flow velocity approaches or exceeds the speed of sound of the gas or when the pressure change in the system ( ) is large,...
Ansys CFX – Heat Transfer through a Pipe
Source: NASA Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the energy and work of a system. Thermodynamics deals only with the large scale response of a system that we can observe and measure in experiments. In aerodynamics, we are most interested in the...
Ansys CFX – Heat Exchanger (Shell & Tubes)
Source: Thermopedia A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. The fluids can be single or two phase and, depending on the exchanger type, may be separated or in direct contact. Devices involving energy sources such as nuclear fuel...
Ansys Meshing Tutorials
Source: Ansys
Meshing is an integral part of the engineering simulation process where complex geometries are divided into simple elements that can be used as discrete local approximations of the larger domain. The mesh influences the accuracy, convergence and speed of the simulation. Furthermore, since meshing typically consumes a significant portion of the time it takes to get simulation results, the better and more automated the meshing tools, the faster and more accurate the solution.
Ansys provides general purpose, high-performance, automated, intelligent meshing software which produces the most appropriate mesh for accurate, efficient multiphysics solutions — from easy, automatic meshing to highly crafted mesh. Methods available cover the meshing spectrum of high-order to linear elements and fast tetrahedral and polyhedral to high-quality hexahedral and Mosaic. Smart defaults are built into the software to make meshing a painless and intuitive task delivering the required resolution to capture solution gradients properly for dependable results.
Ansys Meshing – Body of Influence
Source: Ansys The Body of Influence option is available in the Type field if you selected a body and Use Adaptive Sizing is set to No. Using this option, you can set one body as a source of another body (that is, a Body of Influence). The Body of Influence will...
Ansys Meshing – Sphere of Influence
Source: Ansys The Sphere of Influence option is available in the Type field after you select an entity such as a body, face, edge, or vertex. If the Sphere of Influence is scoped to a body or vertex, the Sphere of Influence affects the entire body regardless of sizing...
Ansys Meshing – Sizing
Source: Ansys The Sizing options provide greater control over the following properties: Mesh growth (transition) between small and large sizes based on a specified growth rate Curvature based refinement and angles between normals for adjacent mesh elements...
