MANE 4140 - Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics


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: MANE 2720 , and (MATH 2010  or (MATH 2011  and MATH 2012 )). Numerical and programming background preferred, not required.

When Offered: Spring term annually.

Co-Listed: MANE 6140  ;Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and the co-listed course.

Credit Hours: 3
