Course objectives:

Course objective is to apply Finite Volume Method (FVM) to real engineering problems. The students will understand FVM discretisation of differential equations, they will be able to use it on an arbitrary system of equations, choose the appropriate boundary conditions and linear solvers for the system, and interpret the results, all in open source software for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) OpenFOAM.

Student responsibilities:

Attendance of lectures is obligatory, the students will conduct a numerical simulation of an engineering problem as an independent assignment.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

The students are expected to attend 70% of the lectures, i.e. they can be absent from 4 lectures. The exam consists of solving/simulating a practical problem and presenting the results during class. The oral part of the exam takes place during the presentation.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):
