ME 458 - Computational Fluid Dynamics


The course explores a breath of fluid and thermal models in one, two, and three dimensions including mathematical modeling of fluids and thermal problems including equations of fluid in motion (Navier Stokes equations). Case studies including both steady and unsteady fluid scenarios in engineering will be used to illustrate theoretical concepts. Numerical analysis techniques such as finite difference (FDM) and finite element (FEA) methods will be used for computerized modeling techniques.   Interactive workshop sessions include software development using MATLAB and application of commercial tools (ME420 can be taken concurrently with permission).

Prerequisite:  ME 284, ME 302, ME 356, ME 420 (ME 420 may be taken concurrently with permission of instructor).

Credits:3 cr
