Learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to
- describe how 3D geometry is represented in a computer,
- identify suitable mathematical models in structural mechanics and fluid mechanics,
- identify suitable numerical methods to compute the solutions to these mathematical models,
- choose suitable software tools to solve these problems,
- generate computational grids and handle advanced software, pre- and post-processing,
- evaluate simulation results based on the mathematical and numerical theory and identify possible shortcomings in the results,
- interpret computed solutions.
Content
The contents is coupled to two different application areas: fluid dynamics and structural mechanics. The contents include grid generation and interface to computer aided design (CAD), practical aspects of finite element methods (FEM) and finite volume methods (FVM), choice of the mathematical model and adjustment of the model, visualisation and post-processing.
Instruction
Lectures, laboratory work and assignments.
Assessment
Written exam (3 credits) and approved assignments (2 credits).
