- Activities and contact hours
- 12 contact hours Lecture
12 contact hours Seminar, Exercises or Practicals
20 contact hours Independent or External Form of Study
- Course Content
The course content:
- The basics: Navier-Stokes equations, finite-volume method, schemes and solvers
- Mesh generation
- Turbulence modelling
- Solution analysis
- Best practices, tips and tricks
- Applications including incompressible and compressible flows
During the exercises a CFD package, OpenFoam, will be explained. The students need to perform small assignments after the practical CFD sessions that count for 10% of the total mark. The remaining 20 hours are used for a project in which the student uses a CFD package to solve a flow problem.
