Syfte

The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge about numerical methods that are routinely used for simulating fluid flows, combustion and heat transfer problems. Knowledge on several ways of discretising such as finite differences and finite volumes is provided. Knowledge on how to numerically treat some flow phenomena such as shock waves, multiphase flow, flames, thermal radiation and mass transfer is given. The course is aimed at providing capability to perform this kind of simulations. Also, to provide capability in analysing and assessing the results of such simulations. This knowledge should be sufficient in order to choose a proper solution method and assess the accuracy of the results for a given engineering problem.

Kursinnehåll

The course treats methods for numerical simulation of fluid dynamics, combustion and heat transfer problems. Discretization using finite differences, finite volumes and to some extent finite elements. Both compressible and incompressible flows are treated. Numerical methods for handling shock wave, multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer and chemical reactions (e.g. combustion), are included. Methods for improving computational efficiency are also included.
