14040 - Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineers Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14040
Module Title:Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineers
  Computational Fluid Dynamics für Ingenieure
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Egbers, Christoph
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:The participation in the module enables students to understand the topic of industry-related CFD from an analytical and practical point of view. The work with industry-relevant software is brought into focus and enables the students to deal extensively with the content. This is primarily conveyed using practical examples with selected software packages. At the end of the module, the students are able to independently create and evaluate CFD simulations and draw conclusions about their applicability for industry.
Contents:CFD methods in industry
  • Linux and network architectures
  • Grid generators and construction of fluid mechanical solvers.
  • Matlab, toolboxes
  • Openfoam
  • Ansys / CFX / Fluent Star CCM+
  • Post processing with Paraview
