ME 448 Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented as a design tool for analyzing flow and heat transfer. Algorithms implemented in commercial CFD packages are reviewed. Training in use of a commercial code is provided. Case studies reinforce fundamental understanding of flow and heat transfer, and highlight the implementation-specific aspects of commercial codes. An independent project is required. Also offered for graduate-level credit as ME 548 and may be taken only once for credit.
