Workshops for Prospective FLOW-3D Users

Our multiphysics and microfluidics workshops introduce FLOW-3D to engineers working in the fields of biotechnology, consumer product design, automotive and aerospace engineering, coating research, and more. Through a series of guided, hands-on exercises, our Multiphysics Workshops help you build hands-on CFD expertise and familiarize yourself with the software’s powerful multiphysics simulation capabilities to solve complex problems in support of industry needs. Our Microfluidics Workshops focus on using FLOW-3D to better understand and design for microfluidics applications such as lab-on-a-chip, diagnostics and biomedical applications.

By the end of these workshops, you will have absorbed the FLOW-3D user interface, reviewed CFD modeling best practices, become familiar with the steps of setting up, running and analyzing simulations, and will have learned about advanced modeling topics relevant to your application.

All of our workshops come with a 30-day FLOW-3D license and access to training materials.

FLOW-3D HYDRO Hydraulics Workshops

Garrison Dam spillway and flood control structures

This CFD workshop is specifically built around the case study of the publicly available Garrison Dam Spillway and Outlet Works technical memorandum 2-431 (WES-Technical-Memorandum-No.-2-431). This online workshop, originally designed for USACE, covers how these types of hydraulic control structures can be efficiently and accurately modeled using FLOW-3D HYDRO. Beyond comprehensive model setup and post-processing topics, the workshop provides in-depth insights into accuracy, model parameter selection, mesh convergence and computing requirements relationships. Automation and sensitivity analysis workflows using FLOW-3D (x) will be demonstrated, and participants will leave the workshop with a strong understanding of how FLOW-3D HYDRO provides robust, efficient and accurate solutions for this class of hydraulic structures. Over the course of this three-hour workshop, participants will learn:

  • How to set up the Garrison Dam spillway and flood control tunnel models in FLOW-3D HYDRO
  • How model parameters and meshing can deliver very accurate predictions of pressures and flow characteristics in these structures
  • How FLOW-3D (x) can automate and optimize the entire CFD workflow, model parameter sweep to post-processed results

Workshop Details

  • Workshops are online, hosted through Zoom
  • Registration is limited to 10 attendees
  • Cost: $499 (private sector); $299 (government); $99 (academic)
  • 30-day FLOW-3D HYDRO license (see our Registration and Licensing Policy)
