MAT61010 MM601 Numerical methods for CFD with OpenFOAM

Aims/Description: This module enables you to select, customize, set-up and run effectively a computational solver for the study of incompressible flows. You will learn to assess critically the suitability of solution methods and assess formally their key numerical properties to support the initial phase of case setup. Formal methods of analysis of computational results will be covered by describing and applying grid convergence analysis techniques. Practical work will enable you to learn how to select and adapt the most appropriate methods to solve sample flow problems.

Restrictions on availability: Available to CDT Advanced Metallic Systems students only.
