Numerical Fluid Mechanics: Course Description
'Numerical Fluid Mechanics' is taught by Professor Henrik Schmidt and is designed for students with an interest in the numerical applications of fluid mechanics. The course also introduces students to the MATLAB program, which students are expected to use to generate and analyze solutions to problem sets given as homework. Some of the numerical methods students will examine include finite element methods, boundary element methods, Fourier interpolation and transformations, panel methods and elliptical and parabolic differential equations. Students will read assigned texts, complete problem sets, take two quizzes and read lecture notes. Students may need some special software in order to use all the course materials. This class was originally offered to graduate students in spring 2007 in a lecture format.
Lecture notes, problem sets with solutions and two quizzes are available as free downloads. If you are interested in taking this course, please visit the numerical fluid mechanics course page.
