Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineering and Biological Applications

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Numerical techniques for solving engineering and biological problems; survey of relevant governing equations such as Navier-Stokes and biochemical and species transport and reactions equations, and the numerical methods to solve them with a primary focus on finite difference methods; discussion of the non-Newtonian behavior of biological flows and their different viscosity models; introduction of rigorous methods for analysis of the methods and their results; hands-on experience in development of computer codes for computational fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. Prerequisites: Graduate classification.
