Computational Fluid Dynamics And Heat Transfer

Overview of numerical methods used in the study of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer. Spatio-temporal finite-difference, finite-volume discretizations, solution of linear systems with direct and iterative methods, algorithms for solving the Navier Stokes and energy equations, and turbulence modeling. Applications to inviscid subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flows and viscous boundary layer. Theory reinforced with hands on programming assignments and the application of commercial CFD packages to select problems.
