Who should take it? Students who have interest in solution of differential equations
using computers, and who seek easy and fast solutions to complex fluid flow and heat
transfer problems. The course is also recommended for engineers who want to apply
commercial CFD codes to industrial problems.
Pre/Co - Requisite: MAE 532 (old 361): Dynamics of Viscous Fluids or equivalent,
and knowledge of computer programming. (MAE 532 could be waived under special
circumstances)
Grading: Home Assignments (25%), Midterm Exam (25%), Term Project (25%), and
Final Exam (25%)
Contents:
(0) A brief overview of differential equations and simple finite difference
techniques.
(i) Introduction: The role of computational fluid dynamics in engineering
applications and research. Review of partial differential equations and finite differencing
schemes. Solution of one-dimensional transient transport equations(i.e. Euler equations).
Linearization of equations and iterative solutions. Solution of linear system of equations.
(ii) Governing Equations: Equations of motion, Navier-Stokes Equations,
Introduction to turbulence modeling, generalized transport equations, and model
equation.
(iii) Control volume approach, generalized hybrid scheme, solution of the flow
filed, pressure coupling in incompressible flows, staggered grids, SIMPLE, SIMPLER
and the related algorithms.
(iv) Advanced finite differencing schemes, their properties, comparison, and
applications in shock capturing using MacCormack method, Flux Corrected Transport
(FCT), and Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) schemes, and various other methods such
as multigrid techniques.
(v) Illustration by worked examples, the variety and the complexity of possible
applications of CFD.
