Learning Outcomes |
---|
By the end of this course, students will be able : • To acquire a significant level of experience in the use of modern CFD software: how to build flow geometries, to generate an adequate mesh for an accurate solution, to select appropriate solvers to obtain a flow solution, to set up the most appropriate turbulence model and to visualize the resulting flow field. • To conduct a numerical analysis of fluid flows with different complexity levels • To use and post-process the obtained results and plots • To analyze and interpret the results and to investigate the fluid-flow behavior • To optimize the model based on iterative results and to propose solutions for the physical problem • To communicate the modeling work in written form (scientific report). |
