Computational Modelling of Fluid Flow (FSI-KPT)

Academic year 2024/2025
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Vojtěch Turek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚPI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

The objective of the course is to acquaint the students with the fundamentals, applications, advantages, disadvantages, and potential pitfalls of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The students will master the basics of workflow with professional CFD tools within the ANSYS environment; however, the acquired knowledge applies to other CFD packages as well. The students will be self-sufficient in solving and analysis of fundamental fluid flow problems. The subject also provides a way to relate and deepen theoretical knowledge from other essential process engineering disciplines.

The acquired theoretical and practical knowledge may be extended in the specialized follow-up course “Practical applications of CFD (K20)”, which will prepare students to utilize CFD in engineering practice.
