Introduction to CFD

Review the governing equations, N-S equations, continuity, and energy.
Methods for the discretisation of the governing equations.
Methods for handling advection/diffusion problems, upwinding etc.
Solving for pressure fields.
Application of boundary conditions.
The use of appropriate turbulence models in CFD. Time averaging and the
modification of the N-S equations to predict the effects of turbulence (RANS).
Selection of appropriate turbulence model e.g. consideration of a number of different
modelling approaches for example, Prandtl&#39; mixing length model, k-epsilon model,
Reynolds Stress Equation model, (RSM), Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methods.
Modelling of the boundary layer. Law of the wall and use of wall functions.
Basic iterative numerical methods for solving the discretised equations, use of
relaxation, time steps etc.
Meshless techniques.
Critical analysis of CFD results, including errors and uncertainty in CFD calculations
and meshing strategy.
