| Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures, exercises on computers, larger final assignment. |
| Evaluation: Approval of exercises and reports
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Prerequisites: 41312 / 41110, 41861 |
| Preferred prerequisites: 41320 / 41323 / 77371 |
| Participant limitation: Min. 5 Max. 30 |
| Aim: To provide practical experience in the use of commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamics) programs for solution of larger technical flow problems within different applications. Emphasis is on understanding the possibilities and limitations inherent to the use of CFD programs. |
Contents: Lectures: brief description of Navier-Stokes equations and equations for censervation of energy and mass for mixtures. Turbulence models. Discretization, truncation errors and numerical diffusion. Convergence. Grid generation. Quality control of numerical solutions. Post processing. External lectures (mainly from the industry) will present "case-stories".
Exercises: small problems to illustrate topics of the lectures, including computational grid, boundary conditions, quality assessment and post processing. The final assignment wil be a larger practical problem whose solution requires use of the acquired skills. |
| Remarks: The general theme of the course is to ensure a high quality of technical flow calculations. The actual solution procedure is only briefly discussed. Together with the course Computational fluid dynamics (41320), the course will provide a solid foundation for further work within the field - including a master´s thesis project. |
