Computational Fluid Dynamics

Catalog description

Introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with emphasis on using a commercial software package. Concepts of consistency, stability, convergence, scheme order, and turbulence modeling from the practitioner's viewpoint are covered. Simulations of steady and unsteady flows, compressible and incompressible flows, forced and natural convection heat transfer, and internal and external flows are performed. The students will learn to interpret CFD results and validation techniques. Components: Class, Laboratory Prereqs/Coreqs: P: "C-" or better in MECHENG 3300 , ( MECHENG 3430 or COMPUTER 1430 ), and MATH 3630 . Typically Offered: Occasionally
