Computational Fluid Dynamics
Lecture in English as part of the master program „Computational Modeling and Simulation“
The lecture presents an introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics providing the basic concepts and algorithms for simulations of fluid mechanical phenomena, indispensable for any work with most of the academic or commercial codes in this area.
Starting point is the classification of the underlying conservation laws, i.e. the partial differential equations. Then, the most important discretization schemes for these equations will be presented. They belong to the class of finite difference and finite volume schemes which are the most widely used approaches employed in practice. A central goal of the lecture is to present the properties of these schemes and methods for their analysis, for example in terms of convergence, consistence, and stability. Solvers for the resulting linear systems of equations are presented and evaluated.
The lecture is similar to the lecture “Numerische Strömungsmechanik” delivered in German during summer term.
