01 Introduction To CFD
This course
is not a course on conservation laws and continuum mechanics
Viscous Flows,
cannot treat turbulence and transition phenomena in depth
Turbulence A,
does not give detailed instructions on the analysis or
development of numerical methods
CFD 1,
is also not a Photoshop course
but rather:
is an application oriented, comprehensive introduction to the
state-of-the-art in CFD. We discuss the essential building blocks
of CFD in the lecture and practice the CFD process in tutorials.

Assessment
The final grade consists of two parts:
- Your knowledge about the lecture content will be evaluated
in an exam (50% of the grade).
- Your ability to set-up, run and critically analyze a numerical
simulation will be evaluated through a take-home
assignment (report 10 pages, 50% of the grade).
