Intended learning objectives
ILO 1: CFD software: ability to setup a case, flow equations, boundary conditions, grid generation, initial conditions, solver settings
ILO 2: CFD software and 2d flows: ability to simulate low Reynolds number flows, boundary layers, von Karman vortices, flow separation
ILO 3: Quantitative analysis: ability to compare simulation results with reference data
ILO 4: Matlab: ability to solve linear equations in 1d, ability to modify a 2d Navier-Stokes code and to implement a discretization scheme
ILO 5: Discretization and error: ability to understand and investigate influence of discretization error on solution.
Why OpenFOAM CFD software?- OpenFOAM is the most popular open source CFD software in the world. In terms of number of users it is the secondmost popular code nowadays with about ~100000 downloads for any new release.- open source ~ huge community of developers- no licence fees (compare ~30000 euro/licence for commercial codes)- user can read the source code - not a black boxRecommended for reaching ILO'sMondays: K1 1015-12: lecture on CFD theory, governing equations and phenomenological discussion of simulation cases
Tuesdays: Maari 1015-12: homeworks supported (Linux, OpenFOAM, Matlab)
Completing the course
80% 5 Homework assignments (4 OpenFOAM and 1 Matlab)
20% Matlab programming assignment (completed during the course)
HIGH IMPORTANCE: 0.5 grade unit bonus: initiate, answer and discuss in MyCourses
