The first reading circle focuses on the fundamental mathematical models behind CFD analysis. The tasks are as follows.
- Read chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the course book. The material in chapter 2 on the governing equations should be familiar to you from your previous studies on fluid mechanics, but it never hurts to have a brief recap of those.
- Collect and read 3-5 journal or high quality conference papers, in which CFD analysis that are similar to your planned project topic have been conducted.
- Write notes on the reading focusing on the following
- How would you summarise chapters 2 and 3?
- Which parts of chapters 1-3 were already familiar to you and from which context and which concepts and details were new?
- Which parts of chapters 1-3 did you find interesting and probably useful from the point of view of the project?
- Which parts of chapters 1-3 were you struggling with?
- Based on the material in chapter 3, how do you think that the type of the equations affects the choice of the boundary conditions?
- Based on the papers, what kind of data can be disclosed with CFD analysis, i.e. which are the flow quantities or derived quantities of interest and how does this compare with your project plan?
- Based on the papers, which are the relevant governing equations in your simulation project?
- What information can you find on the relevant boundary conditions in the papers that you could use in your project?
- Can you identify potential problems that you might encounter during your project?
- Discuss the material with your reading circle group
- Submit the notes and the group memo (memo should be submitted only by the secretary) as pdf by the deadline.
