Computational Fluid Dynamics 2010-2011

Numerical simulation (CFD) has become an increasingly important tool to study and understand flow phenomena, as a complement to the traditional experimental approach. In the CFD module we will consider the specific numerical aspects implied by the character of the equations describing fluid flow. As a first example the convection-diffusion equation will be considered; thereafter the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are studied. Topics like discretization, artificial diffusion, stability and grid refinement will be discussed extensively. A special application treats the simlation of turbulent flow. The lectures are accompanied by numerical exercises (in Matlab) where hands-on experience can be gained with various computational aspects.

Lectures

The lectures are scheduled in building X 5111/5113 (Nijenborgh 4).

Thursday 13.15-15.00 X 5111.0006
Friday 09.15-11.00 X 5113.0201
