Objectives After successfully engaging with the topics of this course, the students will be able to

  • identify different error sources appearing in numerical models,
  • numerically solve simple fluid mechanical problems,
  • solve systems of linear and non-linear equations,
  • apply the finite difference method to different problems (e.g., convection/diffusion equations, integration of particle trajectories),
  • perform simple CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations using OpenFOAM and
  • understand the physical basics of the conservation equations of fluid dynamics.

The level of mathematical modeling and analysis of the mentioned topics is comparable to the level of the textbooks: Moukalled, Mangani, Darwis; The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics, 2016 und Versteeg, Malalasekera; An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics, 2007.
