This course introduces Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which enables the accurate simulation of realistic fluid processes, utilising modern computing power. This extends the capability of engineers beyond the simplified models (as taught in other courses) that are commonly used in industry.

An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Finite Volume Method

The free Ansys Student software (available from www.ansys.com/student) will be used for all assessments in this course.

The CFD software will run on almost anything, but these will ensure your experience is good:

RAM: Minimum 16 GB.  You almost certainly won’t exceed this for the cases you will run in this course.

CPU: Minimum i5 or equivalent.  This will be the limiting factor to how quickly your simulations run, so you may prefer to go for an i7 or better.

Disk space: Minimum 512 GB.  Ansys takes up a minimum of 50 GB for the programs you’ll need.

GPU: Not necessary, but can be helpful.

MEC5100 - Computational Fluid Dynamics

appraise the models for physical phenomena;

appraise the numerical methods for the discretisation of the transport equations and generate accurate results;

characterise the transport equations for fluid flow and how they can be solved;

critically evaluate the results of simulations.

construct a model for the fluid flow problem that needs to be solved;

evaluate different CFD programs and discretise the domain to produce a mesh which will enable an accurate solution for the chosen program;
