COURSE OUTLINE :
CFD or computational fluid dynamics is a branch of continuum mechanics that deals with numerical simulation
of fluid flow and heat transfer problems. The exact analytical solutions of various integral, differential or
integro-differential equations, obtained from mathematical modeling of any continuum problem, are limited to
only simple geometries. Thus for most situations of practical interest, analytical solutions cannot be obtained and
a numerical approach should be applied. In the field of mechanics, the approach of obtaining approximate
numerical solutions with the help of digital computers is known as Computational Mechanics whereas the
same is termed as Computational Fluid Dynamics for thermo-fluidic problems. CFD, thus, deals with
obtaining an approximate numerical solution of the governing equations based on the fundamental
conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy.
