- Geometry and Meshing: geometry generation, introduction to meshing, snappyHexMesh introduction, enhancements and refinement
- Numerical Solution: numerical solution overview, discretization overview, advection and diffusion
- Data Analysis: visualization introduction, data formats, plotting graphs, objective measures
Applied CFD Modules
- Fluid Dynamics/Physical Modelling: transport phenomena, multiphase flows, rotating geometry, dynamic meshes, compressible/thermal flows, thermophysical modelling, porous media
- Geometry and Meshing: meshing tools, snappyHexMesh feature capturing and baffle meshing, multi-region meshing
- Numerical Solution: transient simulation, under-relaxation, pressure-velocity coupling and algorithms, boundedness
- Data Analysis: automating visualization and animations
Programming CFD Modules
- Introduction and Utility Programming: getting started with C++, core classes, tools and practice, data construction, access, processing, input and operations

Personalized Courses
- Bespoke manuals: assembled from the Essential, Applied and Programming CFD modules
- Relevant topics: to ensure no key competencies are missed within the course
- New modules: may be created by CFD Direct on request, depending on time and cost
Customized Examples
- Extra example(s): may be agreed with CFD Direct to target a particular interest of the customer
- Additional notes: may be supplied with customized examples to guide participants after the course
- Recent developments: examples using new developments of specific interest to the customer may be added to the training
Workshop Session
- Extra session: to go through problems of specific interest to participants
- ½-1 day duration: (typically) with some or all participants, as requested by customer
- Topics of interest: can be supplied in advance to assist the instructor
