Learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to
- describe how 3D geometry is represented and how computational meshes are generated in a computer,
- describe, propose and argue for suitable mathematical models in fluid mechanics,
- describe, propose and argue for suitable numerical methods to compute the solutions to these mathematical models,
- choose suitable software tools to solve these problems,
- generate computational meshes and handle advanced software, pre and post processing,
- evaluate simulation results based on the mathematical and numerical theory and identify possible shortcomings in the results,
- interpret computed solutions.
Content
The contents are related to the area of computational fluid dynamics. The contents include mesh generation and interfaces to computer aided design (CAD), practical aspects of finite element methods (FEM) and finite volume methods (FVM) in the computational fluid dynamics area, choice of mathematical models, such as turbulence models. Solution to systems of nonlinear equations, visualisation and post-processing.
Instruction
Lectures, laboratory work and assignments.
Assessment
Written exam (2 credits) and assignments (3 credits).
