Learning outcomes |
To understand and apply the finite volume method to computational problems involving fluid mechanics, heat or mass transfer, and/or elasticity. To know the basics of programming in the Fortran or C++ language. To gain proficiency in the utilization of a FVM-based commercial code for fluid mechanics applications. To for-see application of those methods to actual engineering problems.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Methodology:
Lecture-Tutorials: Fundamental CFD concepts, exercises, and discussion.
Labs / Flipped Classroom: Real-world engineering problems and simulation tutorials (OpenFOAM/Ansys Fluent) supporting the final project.
Assessment:
PR (40%): CFD Project, technical report, and oral discussion.
TP (40%): MATLAB/Fortran problem solving, report, and oral discussion.
QU (20%): Quizzes on theoretical concepts.
Final Grade (FG) Calculation:
FG=(0.4×TP+0.4×PR+0.2×QU)×20
Passing & Exam Rules:
Direct Pass: Minimum of 9.5/20 in each component.
Exam Admission: Minimums of QU = 7, TP = 7, and PR = 8.
Exams: Only the PR component can be recovered or improved during the exam period. The FG formula remains the same.
Office Hours: Tuesdays, 14h-16h.
