Learning Outcomes

O1. Deliver the theoretical foundations of the computational fluid dynamics discipline (chap.1)
O2. Consolidate finite differences and control volume discretization methods that exist in typical computational codes, such as the OpenFOAM code.
O3. To be able to select the mathematical models for the practical cases under study (chap 2).
O4. Apply the standard numerical techniques used in the numerical typically available for the simulation of engineering problems (chaps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). O5. Introduction to the standard techniques to cope with complex geometries (chap 9).
O6. Introduction to the standard techniques and models used to deal with turbulent flows in engineering applications (chap 10).
O7. The student should be able to articulate the aforementioned knowledge and produce a simulation study for a practical case proposed by the teaching team
