Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow

Graduate

This course is concerned with the ability of using numerical methods to predict heat transfer, fluid flow and related processes. The course consists of an introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics, descriptions of the general governing differential equations, discretization methods for the differential equations, numerical simulation of conductive heat transfer, numerical treatment of convection and diffusion and calculations of flow fields. (Anti-requisite: MECH-8290, section 2.) (3 lecture hours a week.)
