Objectives

After successfully completing this course the students will be:

- Familiar with the numerical methods to solve the partial differential equations for thermofluid applications and phenomena.
- Classify and formulate equations governing flow, transport and/or mechanics in several natural and engineering processes including viscous fluid flow and heat diffusion problems.
- Distinguish the good, the bad and the ugly in numerical methods for such problems.
- Recognise the challenges in accurately simulating nonlinear problems and select appropriate numerical approaches for such problems.
- Use and develop simulation software for the most important classes of fluid flows in engineering and science.
- Undertake flow simulation using best practices for model and method selection, and assessment of the quality of results obtained.
