Computational Fluid Dynamics

The application of numerical simulations becomes more and more important in almost every engineering discipline. A major domain is the frequent task of computational flow simulation.

The lecture is about selected topics in this field of application, thereby the focus is on practical usage of methods that can be applied to related technical problems.

From the content

  • Basics of continuum mechanical flow modelling
  • Numerical meshing, grid generation, finite volume methods for complex geometries
  • Finite volume methods for incompressible flows, upwind schemes, flux-blending, pressure correction scheme
  • computation of turbulent flows, statistical turbulence modelling (RANS), k-ε-Modell, Large Eddy Simulation (LES)
  • solving large linear equation systems, ILU decomposition, CG solver, preconditioning
  • Adaptivity, multigrid methods, sparse grids. parallel computing
  • Lattice-Boltzmann-Method
