Finite Element Method For Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer

Catalog description

This course is intended for the graduate engineer or scientist who is interested in learning the basic principles and foundation of the finite element method. In this course, the finite element method will be discussed utilizing the Galerkin Method of Weighted Residuals approach. Problems will be addressed to illustrate the basics of the numerical scheme. The intent of this course is to demonstrate the wide applicability of the finite element approach especially focus on solving problems in heat transfer, species transport and fluid flow. Permission of instructor required. Course Learning Outcomes 1. Understand fundamental of the finite-element method (FEM); 2. Achieve a proper balance between mathematical theory and practical implementation. 3. Apply FEM to model transport equations in fluid flow and heat transfer at a graduate level. View Class Schedule
