Course Description

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an indispensable tool for many engineers. This course gives an introduction to CFD and Heat transfer. The emphasis on understanding the physics of these flows helps the engineer to select appropriate methodology with which to obtain reliable simulations.

Scope and Objective: This course is designed to acquaint the students with the basics of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) which deals with the behaviour of incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer. The course discusses the fundamentals aspect of CFD. Student will able to understand the basics of CFD and its problem solving methodology. Prescribe Text Book:T1. K. Muralidhar and T.
