Computational Fluid Dynamics für Ingenieure
6 CPWinterEN
Prerequisites
Mandatory, as written
• no successful participation in 11726 CFD für Ingenieure
Recommended, as written
This course is an advanced course with respect to numerical fluid mechanics and requires a fundamental knowledge of numerical analysis and fluid mechanics. Therefore, it is suggested to have a prior knowledge in the following taught courses: • Modul 31205 Strömungslehre • Modul 31303 Höhere Strömungsmechanik • Module 13970 Numerical Fluid Mechanics • or comparable knowledge of flow and gas dynamics or numerics.
Contents
CFD methods in industry • Linux and network architectures • Grid generators and construction of fluid mechanical solvers. • Matlab, toolboxes • Openfoam • Ansys / CFX / Fluent Star CCM+ • Post processing with Paraview
Learning outcomes
The participation in the module enables students to understand the topic of industry-related CFD from an analytical and practical point of view. The work with industry-relevant software is brought into focus and enables the students to deal extensively with the content. This is primarily conveyed using practical examples with selected software packages. At the end of the module, the students are able to independently create and evaluate CFD simulations and draw conclusions about their applicability for industry.
Assessment
• Course Work, 5,000 words. References, table of content, tables and figures are excluded. (70%) • Presentation of results, 12 min excluding examiners questions (30%)
