🌫️ An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Sebastian Thomas 🎓

Course Headline: 🚀 A Minimum-Pain Path to Your First CFD Solver

Course Description:

Are you ready to unlock the secrets of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and propel your engineering skills to new heights? Look no further! This comprehensive course is designed to take you from a beginner to an expert in CFD, step by step. Here's what you can expect to learn:

📚 Core Concepts:

• Numerical Approximations: Master the Taylor series for precise approximations of derivatives.
• Discretization Techniques: Learn how to discretize differential equations and assess the stability and accuracy of your solutions.
• Explicit vs Implicit Methods: Understand the advantages and limitations of each method.
• Error Analysis: Get to grips with dissipative and dispersive errors and their impact on your models.
• Mathematical Insights: Gain intuition for key concepts like 'Substantial Derivative' and 'Divergence'.
• Navier-Stokes Equations (NS): Derive the NS equations from scratch and learn to manipulate them for various applications.
• Python Coding: Work with Python code to solve real-world problems like lid-driven cavities, shock tubes, and shock-vortex interactions.

✍️ Hands-On Learning:

• Discretization of NS Equations: Learn MacCormack's scheme and the role of artificial viscosity.
• Problem Solving: Apply what you learn to extend solvers for different variations of canonical problems.
• Advanced Topics: While this course serves as an introduction, it intentionally omits more complex topics like non-Cartesian coordinate systems, Reynolds-averaging, and turbulence modeling for more advanced courses.
