COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

Catalog description

(Slashed with ENGR 85502 ) Classification of partial differential equations. Finite difference methods. Numerical solution techniques including direct, iterative and multigrid methods for general elliptic and parabolic differential equations. Numerical algorithms for solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the primitive variables and vorticity-stream function formulations. Grids and grid generation. Numerical modeling of turbulent flows. This course requires an understanding of differential equations, linear algebra and fluid mechanics/aerodynamics.
