Computational Fluid Dynamics

This module treats an introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and domains of application in engineering, especially mechanical, aerospace and process (chemical) engineering.

The module includes a lecture and a computer lab.

Lernergebnisse

• You know the domains of application of CFD in engineering, especially mechanical, aerospace and process (chemical) engineering.
• You understand the difficulties in solving the incompressible Navier—Stokes equations and the main models and methods applied for the numerical solution of laminar and turbulent flows in industrial settings.
• You understand the weaknesses and strengths of these models and methods.
• You can discretize transport equations with the finite-volume method and apply it with the open-source Software OpenFOAM to solve simple fluid dynamical problems.
• You can visualize, numerically analyse and quantitatively characterize these simple flows and interpret them.
