Computational Fluid Dynamics

Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): MENG 3370 and MENG 3380 . This course introduces the theory and application of computational methods in fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer. Topics include discretization techniques, numerical solution of the governing equations, grid generation, stability and convergence analysis, and implementation of boundary conditions. Students will gain hands-on experience with commercial CFD software to model internal and external flows, heat transfer, and design-related applications. Emphasis is placed on interpreting results, validating simulations, and applying CFD as a predictive tool in mechanical engineering design and research.
