MEC019 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 4 4-0-0 The objective of this course is to cover a range of modern approaches for numerical and computational fluid dynamics, without entering all these topics in detail, but aiming to provide students with a general knowledge and understanding of the subject, including recommendations for further studies. 1. To identify and visualize the various modes of fluid motion and heat transfer in different practical configurations. 2. Understand the various Finite volume and Finite difference techniques and apply these for CFD problems. 3. Understand basic mathematical/numerical methods needed to fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems involving steady and transient conditions.
