Abstract
An in-depth course on numerical methods for computer simulation
of fluid flows. Together with SG2213 "Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics"
(3 cred.), a comprehensive course on theory and practice of computational
fluid dynamics.
Goals
To give the students
- Familiarity with the partial differential equations for flow
phenomena, and numerical methods for their solution
- Experience in using and developing flow simulation software for
the most important classes of flows in engineering and science
The theory and skills learned will enable students to
- understand properties and limitations of different mathematical
and computational models,
- undertake flow computations using current best practice for model
and method selection, and assessment of the quality of results
obtained
Syllabus
Short introduction with review of either numerical methods or the basic
equations of fluid dynamics (the class will be divided in two groups).
Conservation laws: the Navier-Stokes equations. Different levels of
approximation, the Euler and Reynolds Averaged equations. Turbulence models.
Basics of finite approximations for partial differential equations.
Mathematical properties of hyperbolic systems. Numerical treatment of
shocks. Finite volume and finite difference methods. Boundary conditions.
High-resolution methods. Grid generation. Practical algorithms for compressible
and incompressible flow. Computer exercises with methods for the Euler
equations in 1D and different approximations for 2D compressible and
incompressible flows.
Prerequisites
- A course in computer science or programming (e.g. DD1342);
- Background in either fluid dynamics or numerical methods,
corresponding to one of the second level courses in numerical
methods DN2220-DN2225, DN2250-DN2260, DN2266, or a course in fluid
dymamics e.g. SG2214 or equivalent.
Follow-up
SG2213 "Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics" (3 ECTS cred.) covers selected
industrial and research topics in student projects with invited specialists.
Examination
A written examination (TEN1; 3 cr.).
Homework and computer assignments (LAB1; 4.5 cr.).
