🌫️ An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using the Finite Volume Method πŸŽ“ TambiΓ©n conocido como: Finite Volume CFD Method. Fortran. Python.


Course Headline:

Master the Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics with Practical Application in Fortran and Python!


Course Description:

πŸ“˜ Overview: This comprehensive online course is designed for enthusiasts and professionals looking to delve into the world of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). With a focus on the finite volume method, this course will guide you through the intricacies of incompressible flows on 2D Cartesian grids. You'll gain hands-on experience by writing your own CFD codes and applying them to real-world scenarios.

πŸ” Key Topics Covered:

  • Discretization Procedure: Learn how to convert partial differential equations into a finite volume formulation.
  • Interpolation Techniques: Understand the methods used for interpolating variables from one cell to another.
  • Boundary Conditions: Master setting up appropriate boundary conditions to ensure your simulation accurately represents physical phenomena.
  • Flow Visualization with ParaView: Discover how to visualize and analyze CFD results using the powerful data analysis and visualization tool, ParaView.
  • Understanding CFD Errors and Uncertainty: Dive into the factors that can introduce errors in your simulation and learn strategies for minimizing their impact.

πŸ› οΈ Course Projects: You will engage in three main coding projects:

  1. Pure Diffusion Problem: Implement a code to solve a simple diffusion problem, laying the groundwork for understanding transport phenomena.
  2. Pure Convection Problem: Enhance your skills by writing a code that captures pure convection, focusing on the advection of scalar quantities.
  3. Navier-Stokes Equations with SIMPLE Algorithm: Tackle the most complex project by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using the SIMPL(E) pressure-velocity coupling procedure. This will prepare you for tackling more advanced CFD problems like the "driven cavity" and flow development in a channel.

πŸ“‹ Resources Provided: All three codes, written in both Fortran and Python, are available for download. These serve as models for students to study and assist with debugging or understanding the solution procedure.

πŸš€ Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, you will:

  • Have a solid understanding of the finite volume method for CFD.
  • Be equipped to effectively utilize commercial CFD software packages.
  • Possess the necessary background to explore more advanced CFD techniques.

🧠 Prerequisites: To maximize your learning experience, we recommend:

  • A solid foundation in fluid dynamics from an undergraduate level course.
  • Proficiency in using Fortran, Python, or a comparable scientific programming language.
