Description

A working knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is fast becoming a pre-requisite in many domains of eeering. In this course you will learn the fundamentals of this fascinating tool, including - but not limited to - the following concepts and associated applications:- Using the Taylor series to tailor (no pun intended) approximations to derivatives of desired accuracy- Discretizing differential equations and predicting the behavior (stability and accuracy) of these schemes- The advantages and shortcomings of Explicit vs Implicit Methods- Modified PDEs and types of error (Dissipative vs Dispersive)- The intuition behind mathematical ideas like 'Substantial Derivative' and 'Divergence'- Deriving the Navier-Stokes (NS) system of equations from first principles- Manipulating and simplifying the NS equations to find the model suitable for your application- Discretization of the NS equations using methods like MacCormack's scheme with artificial viscosity- Using models of various fidelities (and attached Python code) to solve interesting problems like lid-driven cavities, shock tubes and shock-vortex interactions- Extending the solvers presented to handle variations of canonical problemsAs the title of the course suggests, this is meant to be an (extended) introduction, implying that several concepts have been deliberately (and regrettably) omitted, including, but not limited to:- Transfog the NS equations to non-Cartesian coordinate systems- Reynolds-averaging and turbulence modeling- Large/Detached Eddy Simulations- Grid generation
