Course details

This course provides a rigorous introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), focusing on the fundamental theory and numerical methods behind modern CFD tools.

You will begin with the basics of fluid mechanics and move toward the derivation of key governing equations, including the continuity, momentum (Navier–Stokes), and energy equations.

The course emphasizes numerical methods such as the Finite Difference and Finite Volume Methods, with Python-based coding exercises for solving steady and unsteady diffusion and convection-diffusion problems.

Additional topics include the classification of fluid flow PDEs, time discretization schemes, error sources in CFD, mesh quality metrics, and the derivation and modeling of turbulence using RANS equations and common turbulence models (Spalart-Allmaras, k–ε, k–ω).

This course is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals aiming to build a strong theoretical and computational foundation for CFD applications in aerospace, automotive, energy, and related engineering fields.
