MANE 6140 - Introduction to CFD


This is a course on introduction to computational fluid dynamics. This course provides knowledge necessary to model engineering applications consistent with energy and fluid-dynamic physical laws. Discretization models include: overview of finite difference, finite element, and finite volume discretization approaches, physical problem classification, discretization techniques, and numerical guidelines. Applications include: incompressible and compressible flows, laminar and turbulence flows, with introduction to computational fluid dynamics turbulence modeling, followed by boundary layer, and parabolized flow simplifications. 

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites:  ENGR 2250 Thermal and Fluids I or MANE 2720 Fluid Mechanics, and MATH 2010 Multivariate Calculus and Matrix Algebra. Numerical and programming background preferred, not required.

When Offered: Spring term odd-numbered years.



Cross Listed: MANE 4140.

Credit Hours: 3
