The aim of the unit is to explore advanced analytical methods in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Topics to be addressed in this unit include: Geometric modelling and grid generation: body fitted grids, Bezier curves and algebraic transformations, transfinite transformations and smoothing. Conservation equations for heat and fluid flow: Compressible flows: artificial viscosity, finite-volume formulation flux-corrected transport, and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. DNS, LES and turbulence modelling: averaged Navier-Stokes equations, concept of turbulent viscosity and relate closures, Reynolds stress closures, and near-wall flows and boundary layers.Assessment -- Course Website
