ME 573 Computational Fluid Dynamics
3 graduate credits
Instructor:
Christopher J. Rutland
Phone: 608/262-5853
E-mail: rutland@engr.wisc.edu
Course objective:
To develop an understanding of the major approaches and methodologies
used in computational fluid dynamics, the interplay of physics and
numerics, and the methods and results of numerical analysis. This is
accomplished by analyzing and implementing.
Course description:
This course provides an in-depth introduction to the methods and
analysis techniques used in computational solutions of fluid mechanics
and heat transfer problems. Model problems are used to study the
interaction of physical processes and numerical
techniques. Contemporary methods for boundary layers, incompressible
viscous flows, and inviscid compressible flows are studied. Finite
differences and finite volume techniques are emphasized.
Prerequisite:
Basic fluid mechanics and basic numerical methods courses.
Homework:
Five to six homework sets and two projects; all require
programming. The projects involve writing complete numerical analysis
programs using a minimum of pre-written subroutines.
Exams:
None.
Computer Language:
Fortran or C compiler.
Textbook:
Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Second
Edition,Tannehill, Anderson, Pletcher, ISBN 1-56032-046-X.
Course notes:
None.
