Announcement of a Short Course:

A First Course on Computational Fluid Dynamics

Core lecturer: Professor Phil Roe (Aerospace, Michigan)

Cambridge UK, 26 - 30 June 2006

Scope: The course will provide a solid foundation on traditional and advanced numerical discretisation techniques for the solution of the various partial differential equations which govern fluid flow, showing how successful numerical methods are rooted both in mathematical properties of those equations and in notions of computational efficiency.

Working Plan: The morning lectures on the theory will be complemented by hands-on computational practicals during the afternoons. The participants will work on numerical exercises as individuals and as members of a team, and present their results to the rest of the class.

There will also be seminars by established researchers on application of CFD to contemporary science and technology topics.

Who should attend: The course will aim to convey a "CFD literacy" enabling newcomers to understand the literature and to select methods that are effective for their applications. It will also provide the foundation for existing users who would like to become more involved with algorithm and code development. A strong background in an applied science or/and mathematics is recommended.

At the end of the course the participants will be qualified to start building their own code from scratch, or to further develop existing packages.
