MANE 6140 - 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: Undergraduate Fluid Mechanics, Multivariable Calculus, and Matrix Algebra background is necessary; numerical and programming background is preferred.

When Offered: Spring term annually.

Co-Listed: MANE 4140 ; Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and the co-listed course.

Credit Hours: 3
