Selected Тopics in Computational aerodynamics

The course is linked to the subject taogut in the course Computational aerodynamics at previous study levels, but the material is conceived so that the object can be conceivable to the students who have not listened the course Computational aerodynamics. After a brief review of the basic theoretical equations governing the flow and analytical way of solving the problems of fluid dynamics, students are introduced to the basic and advanced methods of Computational aerodynamics. The course deals with the basics of panel methods, finite difference and finite volume methods. Through solving practical problems, student learns basic and advanced techniques of mesh generation, application of boundary and initial conditions and methods of calculation and visualization of results.

Upon course completion, students gain practical and theoretical knowledge that will serve as a basis for further research and practical work in the field. By solving problems carefully selected by the teacher, the student will gain the necessary experience and will become able to independently determine the complexity of the problem, way of solving and predict potential problems that may arise in the development of the model, mesh generation and other steps in problem solving and to adrress these problems with adequate approaches. During the course, students will master the techniques of computer programming necessary to solve the problems of fluid dynamics as well as the technique of using existing software for the simulation in this area.

Brief introduction and derivation of the transport equation for fluid flow. Presentation of selected problems solved by analytic methods. Fundamentals of panel methods, finite difference and finite volume methods. Basic and advanced techniques of mesh generation. Demonstration of possible approaches to solution of viscous fluid flow. The influence of compressibility and simulation of compressible fluid flow. Simulation of turbulent flow.

Contents of exercises follows the exposed material. Students master the techniques of programming and use of existing software solutions in the area of computational aerodynamics. The examples and problems were selected so that the students are introduced to the problems that arise in the practical applications and trained in use of appropriate solving techniques.

There is no necessary requirement for attendance of Selected Тopics in Computational aerodynamics.
