/Beräkningsmetoder i strömningslära/

Advancement level:
D

Aim:
This course aims at giving the students understanding of and proficiency in computational methods applied to fluid-flow problems. Special attention is paid to finite-difference and finite-volume methods for one- two- and three-dimensional problems. Major attention is devoted to understanding of the coupling between real problem, model and computational model. Knowledge in modelling practical problems is treated.

Prerequisites:
Numercial Methods, Algebra, Analysis, Analysis continuation course, Energy Technology basic course, and preferably Modelling and Simulation - Energy and Computational Methods in Heat Transfer. Familiarity with MATLAB (or equivalent) is also desirable.

Supplementary courses:
The subject area Applied Thermodyamics and Fluid Mechanics gives doctoral courses which can, where suitable, serve as a continuation course for interested students

Course organization:
Teaching is in the form of seminars andproject work of varying scope. The course includes a large amount of computer work.

Course content:
Basic fluid mechanics and its equations, Similarity, Problem formulation. Computational methods - an overview, the Finite Difference method, the Finite Volume mehtod, Discretization, Boundary conditions, Transient problems, Geometry transformations, Turbulence and turbulence models.

Course literature:
An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics by H.K. Versteeg & J.D. Anderson Jr, McGraw-Hill, 1995. Articles from periodicals.
