Learning Outcomes
At the completion of the course students will be able to:
- Evaluate a variety of research as well as specific fluid flow problems in terms of the Navier-Stokes equations, apply appropriate boundary conditions and wherever possible, solve the resulting differential equations.
- Understand boundary layer theory and use the knowledge to solve problems such as separation prediction.
- Study fluid flow problems in terms of vorticity transport.
- Apply boundary layer stability theory to predict transition onset and external flows.
- Analyze turbulent (internal and external) flows using various velocity profile choices.
- Appreciate the need for CFD solutions and the key differences between the various turbulence models and their use.
- Devise potential flow separation control concepts.
- Satisfy prerequisite requirements for courses ME4162.
