Course overview
--------------
The Finite Volume Method and the associated SIMPLE-family of
algorithms are
the core numerical tools used in Computational Fluid Dynamic
codes. In fact, the
top three commercial CFD codes (Fluent, starCD, Numeca); and
OpenFOAM,
which is one of the most popular open source CFD libraries,
are based on the
FVM. In the first part of this course, the FVM is presented
in details starting with
the discretization of the various terms present in the
general conservation
equation of a scalar quantity as applied on an unstructured
non- orthogonal
grid. These include the transient, diffusion convection and
source terms, in
addition to computation of gradients and implementation of
various boundary
conditions. In the second part, the application of the FVM
and the SIMPLE
algorithm to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are
presented in details
for a collocated variable arrangement including issues
related to boundary
conditions. In both parts, implementation details are
illustrated using OpenFOAM
to ensure that both numerical and implementation issues are
clearly treated. In
the third and final part, a number of special topics namely
High resolution
convection schemes, high order transient schemes, treatment
of anisotropic
diffusion are covered.
