CDS 421 - Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable for Credit
Offered by Computational and Data Sciences

Covers the governing equations of fluid dynamics; numerical discretization of the governing equations and popular techniques for solving flow problems; applications of CFD to some classic fluid dynamics problems; and setting up the CFD simulation using a CFD software package. Students will understand the process of developing a geometrical model of the flow, applying appropriate boundary conditions, specifying solution parameters, and visualizing the results. Students are expected to complete several computer projects, including writing their own CFD computer program to analyze simple fluid flow problems, as well as setting up the CFD simulation using a CFD software package.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 446, proficiency in at least one computer programming language and computer operating system, or permission of instructor.
Schedule Type: LEC
Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
Hours of Lab or Studio per week: 0
