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. 

Prerequisite: Prior knowledge of MANE 2110  , MANE 2720  , and (MATH 2010  or (MATH 2011  and MATH 2012 )) or equivalents required.

When Offered: OFFERED YEARLY

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