Objectives
After successfully completing this course, the students will:
- Be familiar with the basic principles of the finite volume method applied to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
- Have learned to set up simulation cases in the industry-standard CFD simulation software OpenFOAM, including generating simple meshes, selecting boundary conditions and governing equations, and to set appropriate solver settings.
- Be able to carry out basic post-processing tasks, including flow visualisations, using state-of-the-art data analysis and visualisations tools.
- Understand and be able to analyse the various errors inherent to the discretisation of the governing equations and numerical methods.
- Have gained basic knowledge of turbulence modelling approaches.
