Contents

The topics covered include: • Basic concepts for flows of fluids • Basics of Discretization • Methodsforsolving large systems of equations • Methods for steady and unsteady flows Conservation property • flow regimes • finite differences • finite volume • lattice types • consistency • stability • convergence • compact differences • up wind schemes • central schemes • implementation of boundary conditions • Gaussian processes and variations • iterative equationsolver • CG-type methods • ADI method • multigrid method • Newton's method • time method for unsteady problems • Application to convection and diffusion equation • pressure correction methods

Learning outcomes

After successful participation the students are able to understand the basic concepts of numerical flow simulation. In the practicals they learn to apply methods to solve sample problems in computational fluid dynamics.

Assessment

The exam can be in written form or held as an oral exam. • For the written examination: 90 minutes duration • For the oral exam mode: 30 - 40 min duration Until the end of the first three weeks of lectures it will be announced, if the examination will be offered in written or oral form.
