/Beräkningsmetoder i strömningslära/

For:   AER   EM   M   MEC   MMAT  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 60
Rec. self-study hours: 100

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course aims to give a basic knowledge about simulation of fluid mechanical problems. After the course the student must be able to:
  • Create models of flows and describe limitations of the model compared to the real case.
  • Apply the finite volume model to discretize the governing equations of the flow.
  • Implement numerical solvers (computer programs) for one- and two-dimensional flows.
  • Use the implementations to analyse flow problems under different conditions.
  • Analyse and value the results.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Numerical Methods, Algebra, Calculus, Energy Technology basic course, and preferably Heat Transfer. Familiarity with MATLAB (or equivalent) is also desirable.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Mechanical Engineering System - project course.

Organisation:
Teaching is in the form of lectures and computer sessions. The course includes a large amount of computer work. The examination consists of computer assignments, which are presented in reports.

Course contents:
Basic fluid mechanics and its equations, Similarity, Problem formulation. Computational methods - an overview, the Finite volume method, Discretization, Boundary conditions, Transient problems, Turbulence and turbulence models.

Course literature:
An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics:The Finite Volume Method, H. Versteeg / W. Malalasekera, 2nd Ed, 2007

Examination:
Project work. Written presentation.
6 ECTS
 



Course language is Swedish/English.
