Course Contents CFD for Aerospace Engineers sets the grounds of the essential physical, mathematical, and numerical models for turbulent fluid
flows and shows the opportunities and limits of fluid flow simulations in the aerospace industry. This course includes: (1) short
survey of history, basic equations and dimensionless numbers, (2) turbulence theory and models for turbulence simulations with
DNS, RANS, LES, (3) generation of suitable computational grids, (4) discretization methods, boundary conditions, effect of
numerical truncation (5) solvers for large linear systems, error and residuum, (6) visualization, (7) validation and verification, (8)
hands-on tutorials with ANSYS CFX and OpenFOAM.
Study Goals After completion of this course, students (1) know and understand the methods and models used in state-of-the-art CFD
software, (2) are able to set-up and run CFD simulations, and (3) can critically analyze and evaluate CFD results.
