Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and some resources for free, open-source learning.
I am here to start a career in Computational Fluid Dynamics especially in turbomachinery applications.
Here is my receipt, I am open to all other suggestions!
**Starting Steps**:
1. **Fundamentals First**: Begin with the basics of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
2. **Software Skills**: Familiarize yourself with CFD software. Open-source options like OpenFOAM are a great place to start.
3. **Community Engagement**: Join forums and groups like this one 🙂.
**Free Open-Source Resources**:
- **OpenFOAM**: An extensive tool for CFD analysis, widely used in academia and industry.
- **CFD Online**: A forum for CFD enthusiasts to discuss ideas and find solutions.
- **SimScale Academy**: Offers free courses on CFD, FEA, and thermal analysis.
Remember, the key to success in CFD is continuous learning and practical application. So, grab these resources, connect with the community, and start simulating!
