The target is to train Engineers, Master and Ph.D. Students and Experts (as well graduated or last year B.Sc. students) for CFD Modelling and Simulations in different fields, starting from beginning, teaching basic fluid dynamics, mass and heat transport phenomena concepts & modelling, basic CFD concepts and CFD Code Programming (C++ and Python), towards advanced CFD Simulations by CFD Software (e.g. Ansys Fluent), Online CFD Platforms (e.g. SimScale) and CFD Platforms (OpenFOAM Simulation and Programming), for broad range of research works, technology developments and industrial applications.
CFD Semester Courses and Project
The program includes 2 basic + 2 practical courses and a CFD Project running within 4 months Supervised-Live Online Education. One course is selective related to the CFD Project. Each course is planned to be organized within about 15 Lectures x 90 min, (7 Weeks), and the project topic will be selected according to the needs and interest of students, or proposed projects of WAC CFD Professors and Instructors, with a dedicated supervisor. The students and participants will be supervised by the professors and instructors of this program with extra Teaching Assistants (TA) support, and mini courses (e.g. C++, Python programing and OpenFOAM, ANSYS FLUENT run tests). Details of the courses are attached following under Registration Form.
Registration Form
* The “Customized CFD Education Semester” will be combination of the live lectures and online discussions with your specific CFD instructor partner and teaching assistant, and also reviewing selected recordings of the fluid dynamic, CFD, heat and mass transport phenomena lectures, according to your live supervision progress, and supervision of your CFD project by WAC CFD Professors. Your needs on the basic Physics and Math questions required for Fluid Dynamics CFD and Transport Phenomena also will also be discussed.

The educational programs at World Academies are truly outstanding in terms of scientific depth, structured content, and high-quality teaching. Each course is taught by distinguished and highly knowledgeable instructors, which makes learning complex concepts both deep and practical.
My experience, especially in the CFD course, has been extremely fruitful and has played an important role in supporting and shaping my academic and research path.
I would also like to express my special gratitude to Dr. Aliyar Javadi for his exceptional expertise, professionalism, and deep, precise teaching style. Participating in these classes has been a truly valuable and enriching academic experience for me.
The CFD Education Semester by WAC is a very well-structured and comprehensive program focusing on fundamental understanding, numerical methods, and physics-based CFD modeling for advanced domain expert application.
What makes this program unique is the step-by-step learning path, starting from core Fluid Dynamics and Transport Phenomena to turbulence modeling and applied CFD applications along with hands-on session on CFD software. The emphasis on Navier–Stokes equations in simple words, conceptual clarity, and interactive live discussions is extremely valuable.
Teaching Assistant support, advisory guidance, interactive sessions along with a semester long CFD research project make it highly effective for students and professionals who want to build a strong CFD foundation rather than just learning software workflows. Highly recommended for serious CFD learners.
The semester-style structure keeps you consistent and builds knowledge progressively. Great for learning CFD from the ground up.
High-quality, interactive education with advisory support at a very affordable fee. The live sessions and TA support are a major advantage.
If you want CFD taught with real understanding (not just software steps), this is excellent. Great fundamentals + conceptual modeling + interactive live Q&A.
Strongly recommended. Very clear step-by-step structure, excellent live interaction, and great TA/coaching support. Practical and deep learning, not superficial.
As a Teaching Assistant with World-Academies, I can attest to the comprehensive structure of the CFD Education Semester program. Having worked extensively with process modeling in my career, including Aspen Plus simulations and Industry 4.0 implementations, I recognize the value of this systematic approach to computational fluid dynamics.
The program’s strength lies in its step-by-step progression, taking students from fundamental fluid mechanics through to advanced turbulence modeling. The interactive live sessions allow for real-time clarification of complex concepts, which is essential when dealing with Navier-Stokes equations and numerical methods. For chemical process engineers who need to understand flow phenomena in reactors, heat exchangers, and processing equipment, this semester provides a solid foundation that bridges theory with computational practice.
