Course detail

Computational Simulations for Heat and Power Production

FSI-LSEAcad. year: 2025/2026

The content of the course is to introduce students to the basic principles of mathematical modeling and simulation (CFD and FEM) by overviewing the underlaying principles and working with specialized software. Attention is focused on heat transfer and fluid flow.

There will also be a presentation of a software for energy balances in the energy sector as part of the course

Language of instruction

Department

Energy Institute (EÚ)

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of working with computers, mathematics and physics.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course is evaluated in the form of graded assessment.
Evaluation is based on the submission of two semestral projects and activity in exercises.

Participation in exercises is mandatory and is controlled by the teacher. One excused absence is allowed. The substition for the excused absence have to be arranged by the student and agreed upon by the teacher. 

Aims

The aim of this course is to provide students with an overview of the principles of mathematical modeling and simulations in the energy sector and to familiarize them practically with currently available software for energy practice.

After completing the course, students will be able to do basic work in these softwares and  further develop their skill in their usage if interested.
