Goals. Students will learn the fundamental concepts of computational
fluid dynamics applied to the 1-D wave equation and the 1-D Euler equations.
Students will learn how to utilize simulation tools for 2-D problems,
including grid generation, 2-D Euler and Navier-Stokes solvers, and
post-processing tools.
Students are expected to write computer program codes. Familiarity
with the equations of fluid mechanics is helpful to provide motivation for
the course. |
