Hello everyone,
I am new to ANSYS Fluent, I recently completed a course on CFD(Theory) and I want to use this knowledge by learning Fluent. I found some youtube channels but they were not well synchronized. Can someone suggest me where can I learn Fluent from basics?
I will appreciate your help.

Someone already mentioned about Cornell confluence and it is great for newbies. If you like video series, you can find edx course by Dr. Rajesh Bhashkaran of Cornell university. Probably the name is ‘Hands on introduction to engineering simulation’. The course is well organized.
As a side note, as you have some knowledge about theoretical cfd, I will suggest you to use open source cfd tool rather than commercial ones like ansys or comsol. For commercial tools, you will hardly know cfd but more of a button clicking! It will not allow you to change what is hardwired inside it. You can of course add your own code but that is not very convenient and have limitations too.
One the other side, Open-source softwares are free it will come very handy when you will use it for research works. It will allow you to look into the code and give you all sort of flexibilities.
If you really want to be a CFD specialist, forget everything and start coding from the scratch. Remember, it needs a solid theoretical knowledge and coding skill in the long run but you can simply start with the easy coding. I can suggest you Anderson's book of 'Intro to CFD', which is a fundamental book and can help you to write your first cfd code too.
The Fluent Learning modules of Cornell university is enriched and to the point. These tutorials are very helpful for both beginner and advance learners.
You can also go to the ANSYS website at http://www.ansys.com/ and download tutorials which are very useful. In fact, by paying I think $25, you can even purchase the student version of ANSYS and install it on your computer and learn FLUENT.

All previous suggestions are excellent. I just wanted to add that depending on how serious you are in investing your time and resources into Fluent, hands on course offered by ANSYS by the local training center is the an excellent way to get introduced into Fluent.
This book is more useful to beginners for learning CFD (ANSYS Fluent).
Hi,
1. Ansys fluent has its own manual. Read it.
2. See the Cornell university lectures on Ansys Fluent.
3. Google any specific problem in ANSYS Fluent and you will get lots of step by step solution procedure on Youtube. See these as workout examples.
4. Try to do any particular problem by your own self in Ansys fluent. You will face certain difficulties. go to step 3 and repeat.
Thanks!

Thank you, everyone, for your advice. I am already going through The Cornell University course and using forums like cfd-online
