Fundamentals of CFD Analysis

Summary

This course begins with the fundamentals of numerical analysis, going on to the discretization of basic equations, and touches on simple programming to enable students to develop skill in analyzing problems involving the flow of living body. The course also aims to increases understanding of commercial software.

Course Contents

1. Lectures

・Fundamentals of numerical analysis
・Physical understanding of the basic
equation of target problems

・Discretization of basic equations

2. Practical Training

・Programming exercise using Fortran or C
・Exercise of analysis with a commercial CFD package software (Ansys)

Structure and Schedule

Lectures will be given using texts and reference material assigned in the package. Progress will be presented in seminar style followed by written submission as a report. Experiments will take place according to the procedure specified in the package. Reports will be made once per week and meetings will be called as needed.

Course Option

Exercise problems related to the theme will be decided upon through private consultation with each student

Course Objectives

The initial objective of the course is to deepen student understanding of the fundamentals of numerical analysis and the discretization of basic equations. Next, the course will move onto the selection of numerical analysis methods for target exercises and deepening understanding on decretization. Finally the course aims to analyze self-created problem analysis software and analyze using a commercial CFD package software.

Fundamental skills required for the course

It is desirable that students to have a basic knowledge of mathematics or physics, and information mathematics.

Examples of Research Theme Combinations

The following list shows examples of research projects that can be combined with this course.
