CFD for Aerospace Engineers

CFD for Aerospace Engineers sets the grounds of the essential physical, mathematical, and numerical models for turbulent fluid flows and shows the opportunities and limits of fluid flow simulations in the aerospace industry. This course includes: (1) short survey of history, basic equations and dimensionless numbers, (2) turbulence theory and models for turbulence simulations with DNS, RANS, LES, (3) generation of suitable computational grids, (4) discretization methods, boundary conditions, effect of numerical truncation (5) solvers for large linear systems, error and residuum, (6) visualization, (7) validation and verification, (8) hands-on tutorials with ANSYS CFX and OpenFOAM.
