Course detail
FSI-QMOAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course will provide an overview of contemporary computational simulations of fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interactions used in the development of modern vehicles. Within the course, selected physical processes including a basic mathematical description are introduced. Preference is given to practical knowledge including lubrication and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Emphasis is placed on the practical use of simulations within commercial software. Computational simulations are applied to typical tasks occurring in the automotive industry, such as hydrodynamic bearings, vehicle aerodynamics or rotor-fluid interactions.

Entry knowledge
Knowledge of mathematics taught at the bachelor’s degree level and necessarily includes linear algebra (matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations), differential and integral calculus, and ordinary differential equations.
Knowledge of basic principles of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics taught at the bachelor’s degree level.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course-unit credit is conditioned by active participation in the seminars, proper preparation of the semester work and fulfillment of the conditions of the control tests. The exam verifies the knowledge gained during lectures and seminars and is divided into a written theoretical part, part of the computational solution of lubrication, fluid flow and heat transfer, and an oral part. The exam considers the work of the student in the exercise. The student must score more than one-half of the total points for the successful completion of the test. An oral examination can test the student's knowledge of the subject and influence the final grade.
Exercises are compulsory, and the form of replacing the missed lessons is solved individually by the lecturer or with the course guarantor. Lectures are optional but strongly recommended.
Aims
The objective of the course is to provide basic knowledge in the problems of multiphysics simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which are applied in the development of motor vehicles and powertrains. The objective is also to obtain knowledge applicable in practice in the areas of external vehicle aerodynamics, internal aerodynamics of rotary machines, lubrication of hydrodynamic and rolling bearings or piston and turbocharger seals.
The student will acquire the skills of the practical application of modern methods supported by knowledge of the necessary theoretical principles. The student will apply these skills in the development of motor vehicles in areas such as external vehicle aerodynamics, internal fluid dynamics, and heat transfer in rotary machines or powertrain cooling and lubrication.
