Learning outcomes The overall objective of this course is to provide students with a digital laboratory environment where they can learn and practice numerical modeling and computational simulation applied to Fluid Mechanics. Students will develop skills in the following areas:
-Numerically solving basic Fluid Mechanics problems by formulating and implementing ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in Scilab or Matlab.
-Understanding and applying the fundamental steps of a CFD simulation, including pre-processing, computation, and post-processing.
-Using commercial and open-source software, such as ANSYS Fluent and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, to perform numerical simulations of fluid flows.
-Critically analyzing computational simulation results by comparing them with analytical solutions and experimental data.
-Developing skills to assess numerical errors and interpret the impact of modeling choices on result accuracy.
Syllabus 1.Fundamentals of Numerical Modeling in Fluid Mechanics
-Formulation of fluid mechanics problems in steady and unsteady regimes.
-Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using numerical methods in Scilab or Matlab.
-Introduction to discretization methods, including finite differences and finite volumes.
2.Computational Fluid Simulation (CFD): Concepts and Implementation
-Steps of the CFD simulation process: pre-processing, computation, and post-processing.
-Computational mesh generation and selection of appropriate solvers.
-Application of commercial software, including ANSYS Fluent and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, to solve fluid mechanics problems.
3.Critical Analysis of Results and Simulation Validation
-Comparison of numerical results with analytical solutions and experimental data.
-Analysis of numerical and empirical errors.
-Post-processing techniques, including unsteady flow analysis using FFT
