This home study course is designed for engineers, scientist, and technical managers who are interested in development and/or implementation of available CFD codes.
KEY TOPICS:
- Improve your understanding of various aspects of computational fluid dynamics, its limitations and advantages
- Become familiar with the transformation of the equations of fluid motion from physical space to computational space and numerical algorithms for the solution of Euler, parabolized Navier-Stokes, and Navier-Stokes equations
- Learn the fundamentals of the unstructured grids and finite volume schemes
The aim of this course is to extend the concepts of numerical schemes to a system of equations typically expressed in a vector form. The content of this course is equivalent to a one-semester graduate course. Furthermore, you must have had an introductory course in CFD, e.g., the AIAA Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics course. Access to a high-end PC, workstation, or a mainframe computer, along with a FORTRAN compiler and graphics, is necessary for applications.
