Computational Transport Phenomena

An introductory course on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Transport Phenomena (CTP): elementary fluid mechanics; numerical and computational aspects; turbulence en turbulence modelling; RANS vs Large-Eddy Simulations; operations and mixing en transport processes in process equipment among which stirred vessels and cyclones; fluid-particle interaction; two-phase flows (Euler-Lagrangian vs Euler-Euler)

The grading is based on two elements: (a) the active participation in the mandatory weekly tutorials (counts for maximum 10% of the final grade), and (b) the grading of the report on the final assignment (counts for minimum 90% of the final grade).

The latter report should make clear that the student has understood the course material, at least as far as relevant to the final assignment. This report should be a critical assessment (using literature data) of the simulation results carried out for the final assignment. A more detailed scheme of aspects contributing to the eventual grading of the final report is to be found on Brightspace. The effort in writing such a report is not to be underestimated!

Students are allowed to improve their grades on the basis of the review by the teacher but cannot improve their grade by more than 1.5 on the scale 1-10. The lecturer may invite students for an oral assessment of their final assignment report.
