This course provides practical experience in the numerical simulation of fluid flows. Numerical methods are presented in the framework of the finite volume method. A simple solver is developed with Matlab, and a commercial software is used for more complex problems.
Some numerical methods are presented for the
discretization and resolution of the steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes
equations and simpler advection-diffusion equations, in the framework of
the finite volume method. A basic in-house code is developed with
Matlab for simple problems.
The overall modeling and simulation
workflow is presented: pre-processing (geometry and mesh creation), set-up and computation (choice of physical models and numerical methods, flow calculation),
validation and post-processing (visualization and analysis). A
state-of-the-art commercial software (Fluent) is used to study practical
applications.
