This course will provide an introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with emphasis on both the theory and the practical application to simple and complex problems. The course begins with a study of finite difference and finite volume models of one-dimensional partial differential equations. These equations are central to the understanding of more complex CFD models. The course will use ANSYS Fluent, a commercial CFD code, to solve both simple and complex simulations including both laminar and turbulent flow as well as heat transfer. The course will be a combination of traditional lectures, in-class projects and independent project work.
