Course overview

Fluids are all around us- from the air, we breathe to the car we ride in, fluids dictate much of our functionality and mobility in today’s world. Therefore Fluid Dynamics has become an essential domain for engineers to better understand and use to their advantage. The Introduction to CFD Using MATLAB and OpenFOAM online training provides the necessary foundation to work on simulations, numerical calculations, and predict the behaviour of fluid to master Fluid Dynamics.

The Introduction to CFD Using MATLAB and OpenFOAM programme is aimed at civil, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, and material engineers with a fundamental understanding of Fluid Dynamics, Mathematics, and programming. Candidates will get familiar with MATLAB, Octave, OpenFOAM, and Linux through project-based learning.

Since the Introduction to CFD Using MATLAB and OpenFOAM certification training is a job leading course, after finishing it, candidates will be skilled to become CFD developer or CFD application engineer. Skill Lync provides a course completion certificate, dedicated technical support, and allows you to build a strong project portfolio in the CFD domain.
