Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successfully dealing with the content of the course, students are able to:

(i) understand the mathematical foundations of fluid mechanics,

(ii) apply common numerical methods and simulation approaches in flow mechanics,

(iii) understand the physical foundations of fluid mechanics, especially with regard to transport processes, turbulence and multiphase phenomena.

Skills Knowledge
After completing this lecture, students will be able:

(i) to understand the structure of partial differential equations representing fluid flows (k2, k3)

(ii) to understand the different mechanisms of transport phenomena and describe them using transport equations (k2, k3, k4)

(iii) to understand how transport equations can be discretized using the finite volume method (FVM) and understand the solution process of the Navier-Stokes equation using FVM (k2, k3, k4)

(iv) to describe turbulence phenomena as well as different numerical simulation approaches for turbulent flows (DNS, LES and RANS) (k2, k3, k4),

(v) to reproduce the basics of multiphase flows and to understand numerical simulation approaches (Volume of Fluid Method and Euler-Lagrange coupling) (k2, k3, k4)

After completing this lecture, students will know

(i) the mathematical foundations (Navier-Stokes equations) of fluid dynamics

(ii) a mathematical concept (finite volume method) for solving them,

(iii) physically relevant flow phenomena (transport, turbulence, multiphase flow), and

(iv) corresponding numerical simulation approaches
