COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

Catalog description

The present course study focuses on computational approaches to solve Navier-Stokes equations; which govern fluid flow in most engineering applications. Fundamental issues related with implementation of finite difference methods (FDM), finite volumes (FVM) and finite element methods (FEM) will be discussed. These issues include the discrete formulation, non-linear equation iterator (steady)/marcher (time -accurate), linear equation formulation, boundary condition prescription and linear equation solution.
