Computational Fluid Dynamics

Part I:

• Numerical methods for the convection-diffusion equation;

• Stability, consistency and convergence of the numerical methods;

• Extensions to incompressible Navier-Stokes equations;

Part II:

• Basic iterative solvers and preconditioners for the Poisson problem;

• Schwarz domain decomposition preconditioners for the Poisson problem:

• Extension of Schwarz preconditioners to saddle point problems (Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations)

1. Formative assessment

   • 4 (optional) assignments (two per part of the course: A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, A2.2)

2. Summative assessment

   • Project report (P)
     Remark: The project report grades are group grades, therefore all group members receive the same grade.

   • Oral exam (O), with the following parts:

     • Project presentation (1/3 of the grade)

     • Theory questions on contents of the course (2/3 of the grade)

Final grade calculation: 0.4 P + 0.6 O

Resit/ Repair opportunities: In case of an insufficient result, repair opportunities may be offered in accordance with TER Implementation Regulations Art 5, sub 5., for: 

• Report: resubmit improved report

• Oral exam: resit oral exam

To pass the course, the following is mandatory: 

• The project report must be completed with a grade greater than 5.5.

• The oral exam must be completed with a grade greater than 5.5

Disclaimer: information may change depending on unforeseen circumstances or measures (see: TER Art 29, sub 4).
