Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer

1 Unit · Graduate

This course provides an understanding of the theory and process of computational flow analysis by giving students the opportunity to use commercial simulation software (ANSYS/Fluent) to solve fluid flow problems. Topics covered include conservation of mass, momentum and energy; boundary conditions; turbulence modeling; mesh generation; solution procedures; and verification/validation. Topics will be presented through lectures, hands-on computer lab sessions, and team-based projects.
