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.

Key Takeaways

At the end of this programme, you will be able to:
  • Identify the fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that are used by engineers, scientists and researchers
  • Understand the importance of central differencing, upwind differencing and Peclet number
  • Learn how to set up and solve your first CFD solution from first principles (using Excel, Python or MATLAB)
  • Apply a common framework to solve any scalar transport equation in CFD
