Course detail

CFD Modelling II

FSI-K20Acad. year: 2015/2016

The course provides an introduction to qualified usage of commercial software system FLUENT and a brief introduction to solving various types of computational problems. It is a second part of a two-semester course on CFD modelling methods. Students will be made familiar with the generation of geometric entities and computational grid using a pre-processor, definition of boundary conditions, with setting of numerical computational parameters in the FLUENT program, with monitoring of a running simulation, as well as with analysing simulation results.
The lectures are organised in a computer laboratory and a part of the training includes individual work on smaller problems. Students will make use of the knowledge obtained in the first part of the course.

Aims

Students will be made acquainted with methods and techniques of generating geometry and computational grid, as well as with setting of boundary conditions. They will learn to work with FLUENT software and perform CFD simulations. Students will obtain basic information on computational modelling of various types of problems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Course-unit credits will be granted to students who have regularly participated at the lessons (regular participation means presence in at least two thirds of the lectures, i.e. 9 out of total 13).
