Summary
The aim of this course is to familiarise the student with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) softwares such as StarCCM or openfoam to solve numerically the evolution equations of a flow with given control parameters. Following some instructions, the students will run simulations on canonical test cases (channel flow, backward facing step, flow around a cylinder and an airfoil) at lower and higher Reynolds number and assess the quality of the results.
Educational goals
-Learning how to install and set up a new CFD software -Designing a flow domain and a mesh for a numerical simulation -Choosing an adapted model given control parameters of a flow and assessing the quality of the numerical result (convergence, choice of model etc.) -Running the simulations, analyzing the result and writing a comprehensive report about them
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures
Continuous Assessment
Comments: The evaluation will be done by a writing a report on all studied testcases.
Online resources
Exercise sheets, scientific literature (selected articles, NACA reports), data base of experimental results
Pedagogy
Practice sessions where the student receive the exercise sheet sets up and run the numerical simulation of a flow, after generating the flow domain and the mesh.
