Computational Fluid Dynamics
Short Course
Course Aims
- Equip students with the knowledge base essential for application of computational fluid dynamics to engineering flow problems
- Provide the essential numerical background for solving the partial differential equations governing the fluid flow
- Develop students' skills of using a commercial software package
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
- Understand solution of aerodynamic flows. Appraise & compare current CFD software.Simplify flow problems and solve them exactly
- Define and setup flow problem properly within CFD context, performing solid modelling using CAD package and producing grids via meshing tool
- Understand both flow physics and mathematical properties of governing Navier-Stokes equations and define proper boundary conditions for solution
- Use CFD software to model relevant engineering flow problems. Analyse the CFD results. Compare with available data, and discuss the findings
Contribution to UK-SPEC Outcomes
- Underpinning science and mathematics, and associated engineering disciplines
- A comprehensive knowledge and understanding of mathematical models relevant to the mechanical and related engineering disciplines, and an appreciation of their limitations
- Understanding of engineering principles and the ability to apply them to analyse key engineering processes
- An understanding of the capabilities of computer based models for solving problems in engineering, and the ability to assess the limitations of particular cases
