Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (FSI-MMP)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Pavel Rudolf, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Introduction to geometrical modeling and computational fluid dynamics, introduction to work with ANSYS CFD.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Basics of work with ANSYS CFD and Solidworks, coupling between 3D modeling and CFD analysis.
Prerequisites:
Fluid mechanics, basic CAD skills, work with Windows operating system.
Course contents:
Subject introduces students with capabilities of computational simulations of fluid flow and presents philosophy of work in CFD environment. Emphasis is put on preprocessing, i.e. 3D geometrical modeling and computational grid creation process. Students are also taught the formulation of the computational case and basics of postprocessing. This subject will be followed on by course Computational fluid dynamics in the second grade of the second stage of study. Practical exercises are focused on work with Solidworks and ANSYS CFD.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The subject is composed of lectures and exercises. The theoretical parts are explained during lectures (terminology, procedures, approaches). Exercises focus on practical application using appropriate software tools.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Final evalutation is based on project work, which is summarized in form of technical report.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Exercises are compulsory. Absences in exceptional cases are individually judged by teacher.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 1 hrs. optionally
