In this course you will learn the methodology for simulation of electric arcs through the software ANSYS-FLUENT. You will learn all the necessary steps for the activation of MHD module, geometry, mesh, simulation and interpret the results. In addition to knowing about the theory of electric arc and ways of applying it in other models that involve electromagnetic phenomena. You will find an example of simulation and the results.

The MHD module is a really useful tool which allows to coupling the Navier Stokes equations with the Electromagnetic equations, and in this way simulate a fluid with magnetic properties. And this module not only allows to simulate electric arcs but also any can of ferromagnetic fluids.

In this course you will find all the necessaries steps for the simulation and the codification for UDFs in C++, and in this way you can modify it. You can applied this methodology in 2D and 3D models, and in models with dynamic meshes as well.

When you finish this course you will be able to do your own arc simulation, and I suggested to start with the model developed here, then you can move to more complex ones. If you have any doubts you can write an email.
