MAE 5230

Intermediate Fluid Dynamics with CFD

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

Builds on the foundation of MAE 3230. The lectures emphasize on the physics and mathematical analysis of the subject. Topics include incompressible flows, compressible flows, and computational fluid dynamics. As an integral part of the course, you will learn numerical method and how to use ANSYS/Fluent to solve flow problems. The students will develop problem-solving skills, through which to cultivate an appreciation for the rich and complex structure of fluids, and appreciation for fundamental ideas in fluid dynamics.

When Offered Spring.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate students. Intended for: M.Eng. students who wish to take a fluid dynamics course including implementation of commercial computational fluid dynamics packages.
