Computational Fluid Dynamics

AMME4210

The aim of this unit is to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical basis of computational fluid dynamics, the ability to write a simple Navier-Stokes solver and the skills to use a state of the art commercial computational fluid dynamics package. At the end of this unit students will have the ability to assess fluid mechanics problems commonly encountered in industrial and environmental settings, construct and apply computational models, determine critical control parameters and relate them to desired outcomes and write reports. Course content will include Navier-Stokes equations; finite difference methods; accuracy and stability for the advection and diffusion equations; direct and iterative solution techniques; solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations; turbulent flow; cartesian tensors; turbulence models.
