Course Overview
MSc/4th Year Advanced CFD ◮
Course builds on earlier CFD units: ◮ ◮
Course Overview
Last semester’s CFD-1 for MSc students Modelling & Simulation courses for 4th years
◮
Previous courses have covered the basic finite volume discretization methods for structured grids found in most general-purpose CFD codes.
◮
In this course we extend this to study more advanced finite volume treatment, and a number of other methods that can be used for more specialist CFD applications.
◮
The aim is to provide an understanding of a range of CFD methods, their strengths and weaknesses, and typical applications.
