Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Education facts

Code: EMAD16

The aim of the course is for students to acquire knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), including methods used to analyse applied questions of fluid flow and heat transfer. In the course, students develop their ability to analyse and evaluate the results of CFD simulations. The course covers the following: - theory of turbulence modelling, - commercial CFD software for simulating phenomena related to fluid flow and heat transfer, - classification of the governing differential equations (continuity equation, momentum equation, energy equation) for CFD, - turbulence models and wall function in turbulence models, - different types of grid ((structured grid, unstructured grid, and hybrid grid) and grid refinement, - grid-independent study and criteria for numerical convergence, - validation of results from CFD simulation through experiments or theory, - CFD for external/internal forced convection with different turbulence models, - CFD for heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation, and - CFD for fluid flow in practice and heat transfer problems in technical applications.
