Learning outcomes |
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory, implementation, and application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The goal is to equip students with the skills to solve fluid flow problems using numerical methods, focusing on CFD principles, finite volume discretization schemes, time integration, and turbulence modeling.
Students will develop the ability to implement basic CFD solvers and apply preprocessing tools in various software platforms (such as OpenFOAM or Ansys Fluent) and conduct advanced simulations.
Learning outcomes:
• Understand CFD principles and their applications across various industries.
• Master finite volume discretization, boundary condition implementation, and error analysis.
• Implement small-scale CFD solvers and apply pre- and post-processing tools.
• Analyze turbulent flows depending on project requirements.
• Write technical reports synthesizing simulation results.
• Critically evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of CFD models.

1. Introduction to Numerical Simulation: Overview of the advantages and challenges of numerical simulation compared to experimental methods.
2. Finite Volume Methods: Discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations for various types of flow.
3. Solving Systems of Linear Equations: Direct and iterative methods, with a focus on computational efficiency analysis.
4. Turbulence Models
5. Complex Geometries and Meshes: Strategies for handling complex geometries in both software platforms.
6. Solutions for Transient and Steady Flows: Implementation of explicit and implicit time techniques, with a focus on stability.
7. Efficiency and Accuracy: Mesh independence studies, error analysis, and simulation optimization.
8. Application of Commercial and Open-Source Software
