This course introduces students to the fundamentals of numerical analysis and computational methods for solving engineering fluid dynamic problems. It enables students to using modern Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) packages.

Contents: Introduction, Governing equations of fluid dynamics, Partial Differential Equations (PDE): classification, characteristics and numerical methods, the basics of the Finite Difference Method (FDM) and the Finite Volume Method (FVM), initial conditions and boundary conditions, turbulence, introduction to turbulence modelling, Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), an introduction of Fluent^®, applying Fluent^® for solving engineering fluid dynamic problems.
