ME 518 - Computational Fluid-Thermal Systems

3 Credit Hours
Modern approximation theory applied to incompressible-thermal flows. Navier-Stokes equations, well-posedness, boundary conditions, non-dimensional groups, conjugate heat transfer, algebraic/differential closure models for turbulence. Weak forms, extremization, finite element/finite volume discrete implementations, a priori error estimates, accuracy, convergence, stability. Numerical linear algebra, sparse matrix methods. Applications in boundary layers, stream function-vorticity, pressure projection, free-surface, pseudo-compressibility completion theories. Solution-adaptive h- and r-meshing, optimal solution estimates. Augmentation theories for stability, numerical diffusion, Fourier spectral analyses, optimal forms. Computer projects.
