Program Details

Learning Objectives

The program aims to provide students with knowledge about:

• The methods behind Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Various spatial and temporal discretisation schemes
• The pressure-velocity coupling method for solving the Navier-Stokes equations numerically
• Meshing strategies and boundary conditions
• The fundamentals of turbulence, the energy cascade, and Kolmogorov hypotheses
• Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and turbulence modelling
• The fundamentals of multiphase flow
• Different modelling approaches for multiphase flow and multiphase models in the context of CFD
• Turbulence-particle interaction in multiphase flow

Skills

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

• Use the finite volume method to numerically solve simple problems
• Perform a mesh independency study in CFD analyses
• Perform CFD analyses of a turbulent flow with regards to selection of turbulence model and near wall modelling/meshing strategy
• Perform CFD analyses for non-reacting multiphase flow, for both the Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange approaches
• Apply proper terminology in oral, written, and graphical communication and documentation within CFD, turbulence, and multiphase flows
