Computational fluid dynamics

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Computational fluid dynamics
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. explain, analyse and contrast the different spatial discretization methods to solve the steady convection-diffusion equation. 2. explain and contrast the different time integration (discretization) methods to solve the unsteady convection-diffusion equation. The student can carry out stability analyses for various grid types and discretization methods. 3. explain, analyse and contrast the different discretization and pressure coupling methods to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. 4. explain the basics of RANS and DNS used in case of turbulent flow. 5. implement and analyse the CFD methods in the MATLAB programming environment using basic programming skills.
Omschrijving	Numerical simulation (CFD) has become an increasingly important tool to study and understand flow phenomena, as a complement to the traditional experimental approach. In the CFD module we will consider the specific numerical aspects implied by the character of the equations describing fluid flow. As a first example the convection-diffusion equation will be considered; thereafter the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are studied. Topics like discretization, artificial diffusion, stability and grid refinement will be discussed extensively. A special application treats the simulation of turbulent flow. The lectures are accompanied by numerical exercises (in Matlab) where hands-on experience can be gained with various computational aspects.
