ME 555 - Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Course Cross-listed with ME 455
3 credit(s)
Course provides an introduction to the use of commercial CFD codes to analyze flow and heat transfer in problems of practical engineering interest. An overview of the theory and numerical methods in CFD is provided; however, students are not expected to write programs. At the end of the course students understand the process of developing a geometrical model of the flow, applying appropriate boundary conditions, specifying solution parameters, and visualizing results. They also have an appreciation for the factors limiting the accuracy of CFD solutions.
Prerequisite(s): Senior or graduate standing in biomedical, civil, or mechanical engineering.
Laboratory fee.
