Computational Fluid Dynamics

Catalog description

Introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with an emphasis on 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 conduction in solids are performed. Components: Laboratory, Class Prereqs/Coreqs: P: Student must be in the Engineering Design Emphasis area to enroll in course or Consent of the Program Coordinator/Instructor Typically Offered: Based on Student Demand
