    This course syllabus covers the topics that will be addressed in a module on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Students will first learn about the governing equations of fluid motion, numerical discretization, fluid solvers, and boundary conditions. They will then cover essential mathematics concepts like series expansions, partial differential equations, and methods for solving matrices. Next, students will analyze fluid systems to develop their technical foundation in the physics of fluids. Finally, the course will teach stability analysis of numerical schemes and how to use the open-source CFD software OpenFOAM to model and solve fluid problems.

    Course Syllabus

    Importance of Computational Fluid Dynamics


    In this module, you will understand what CFD is and its uses. After your first class, you will
    be able to understand

     Governing equations of fluid motion


     Numerical Discretization
     The term "fluid solver"
     Boundary conditions
     Post processing

    Once we do this, we will have a rigorous approach to learn MATLAB/Octave.

    Essential Mathematics
    In this course, you will be writing solvers and getting your hands dirty with different
    numerical methods. Before we do this, it is very important to understand essential
    mathematical concepts that you will encounter.

     Series expansion and Taylor's table


     Understanding the type of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and their characteristics
     How Elliptic, Hyperbolic and Parabolic PDEs relate to the physics of fluid
     Powering through Divergence, Curl and Gradient
     Types of linear systems
     Different ways to solve matrices
     Computing integral quantities in arbitrary volumes

    Understanding the Physics of Fluids


    The most important aspect of CFD is the physics of fluids. Before plunging into CFD, we
    will analyze flows mathematically and computationally. This is where you develop your
    technical foundation. Here are some topics that we would cover:

     Navier and Stokes Equation


     Understanding the Eulers equation
     Analyzing fluid systems with the Reynolds Transport Theorem

    Scratching the surface of CFD by Analyzing Consistency and


    Stability of Numerical Schemes
    When we reach this point in the lecture, you are will have the essential knowledge in Math,
    Programming and Fluid Physics to start CFD. We will teach you Von-Neumann Stability
    analysis along with a practical example.
    Computational Fluid Dynamics using OpenFOAM
    OpenFOAM is an open-source toolbox with in-built Numerical Solver and pre/post
    processors for solving CFD Problems. In this module, you will:

     Learn how OpenFOAM solver is structured


     Learn how to pick a solver
     Create meshes using blockMesh and SnappyHexMesh
