Computational Fluid Dynamics University of Aberdeen

Overview

In this Computational Fluid Dynamics online short course at the University of Aberdeen, you’ll learn to understand, develop, and analyse successful simulations of fluid flows, and use this knowledge in a wide array of applications.

This course seamlessly integrates numerical methods with hands-on experience using relevant software. This holistic approach means you’ll be well-equipped to leverage CFD in your future endeavours.

Outcomes

By the end of this CFD course, you’ll be able to...

• Assess the applicability of a particular model or method and its limitations.
• Select an appropriate set of numerical methods and discretisation schemes for a particular fluid flow application.
• Demonstrate understanding of fundamental computational fluid dynamics and applications.
• Demonstrate understanding of finite-difference and finite-volume discretisation of PDEs, and how numerical techniques are applied to flow equations
• Understand CFD workflow procedures, including mesh generation, numerical discretisation schemes and solver methods, assignment of appropriate initial and boundary conditions, and pre- and post-processing data.
• Recognise terminologies used by CFD practitioners.
