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.
