Computational Fluid Dynamics for Compressible Flows

An introduction to computational fluid dynamics with emphasis on compressible flows. We will cover finite difference, finite volume and finite element methods for compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations and for general hyperbolic conservation laws. Background material in hyperbolic partial differential equations will also be covered. Algorithm development, analysis, implementation and application issues will be addressed. Prerequisite: APMA 2550 or equivalent knowledge in numerical methods.
