Short Course: Advanced Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics

Advanced Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics 

7-10 September 2015 

Continuing Professional Development Course 

University of Manchester and STFC Daresbury Laboratory, United Kingdom 

The course will address the analysis of modern approaches to turbulence modelling, different models and their applications to the solution of industrial problems including external and internal aerodynamics, heat transfer, combustion and aero-acoustics. The main learning objectives include: the fundamentals of CFD; principal approaches to turbulence modelling; fluid-structure interaction methods; industrial applications; challenges in implementation of turbulence models and best practice guidelines for CFD. 

The course consists of two parts: (i) A theoretical course on advanced CFD approaches (at the University of Manchester) and (ii) hands-on tutorials using the open source software “Code_Saturne” for solving the Navier-Stokes equations (at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory). The first part will focus on RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) models, LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and DNS for turbulent flows, fluid-structure interaction methods, artificial boundary conditions for compressible flows and aeroacoustics. The second part is devoted to learning how to use the open-source CFD solver Code_Saturne, which is developed by EDF R&D for solving the Navier-Stokes equations.
