Computational Fluid Mechanics (CFD) has traditionally been an important tool for design and analysis within the aeronautical industry. Development and improvements of commercial CFD packages as well as the rapid development of computer performance have made application of CFD grow in many different disciplines in industry and research. Many engineering problems involve flow of gases and fluids and the potential of further growth of importance is large which motivates this course in getting insights in CFD in different applications.
This project course will give you hands-on experiences in computational fluid mechanics (CFD). You will get some insights in the major difficulties in performing CFD computations with good quality and trust and the importance of experiences in basic fluid mechanics phenomena. You will also get some information in similarities and differences in different CFD packages, commercial as well as research codes. The complete process from assumptions and simplifications, mesh design, computation and analysing the results will be covered.
After completing the course you should be able to perform a complete CFD analysis using a commercial or research CFD package.
In specific, you should be able to:
