Overview
Discover the fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that are used to solve complex fluid dynamics problems (weather prediction, aircraft flight, turbomachinery) by researchers, scientists and engineers around the world. The programme starts from first principles and you will rapidly develop their first CFD solution using the Excel sheets and Python source code provided.
