After successful completion of the course, students are able to solve partial differential equations describing fluid mechanics and heat transfer with appropriate numerical methods. They understand the strengths, weaknesses and limits of applicability of these methods.
• Introduction to partial differential equations• Convergence, Consistency, Stability• Spatial Discretization• Numerical solution of Laplace and Poisson equations• Numerical solution of the convection-diffusion equation
Explanation of the methods. Demonstration of hands-on examples. Team projects.
Written exam together with evaluation of the team projects.
Attending and actively participating in at least 80% of the practical sessions is required to pass the course.
