DESCRIPTION
This
course is an introductory course in Computational Methods for
Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer covering: concepts of modeling
and numerical analysis, governing equations of thermo-fluid
problems, finite-difference and finite-volume discretization methods,
and introduction of the use of ANSYS-CFX CFD commercial software package in solving Thermal
Engineering problems.
Course
Topics
1.
CFD Solution Procedure.
2. Governing
Equations for CFD.
3. CDF Techniques - Basics of Finite-Difference and
Finite-Volume Methods.
4. CFD Solution Analysis and Practical Guidelines.
5. Applications of CFD.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Introduce
Computational Methods for Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer.
- Introduce
the use of the Computational Commercial Software Package
ANSYS-CFX
in solving Thermal Engineering problems.
EVALUATION
The
following distribution of marks will be used, unless there is a
valid and compelling reason to use an alternative weighting
scheme. Missed assignments, quizzes, and tests will have a grade
of zero entered without legitimate and documented reason.
Assignments 15%
Two
Projects 30% (15% each)
Midterm 15%
Final exam 40%
The weight of any missed work, properly reported using MSAF,
will be automatically added to the weight of the final
examination
CALCULATOR
Use of Casio FX-991 MS or MS+ calculator only is
allowed on term test and final exam
Policy Reminders
“The
Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an Environment
that is free of all adverse discrimination. If there is a
problem, that cannot be resolved by discussion among the persons
concerned, individuals are reminded that they should contact the
Department Chair, the Sexual Harassment Officer or the Human
Rights Consultant, as soon as possible”.
While interaction with your fellow students is expected in
learning, assignments and projects submitted for academic credit
must be your own work. "Academic dishonesty consists of
misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and
can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an
assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript
(notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic
dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from the
university.
The following illustrates only three forms of academic
dishonesty:
1.
Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or
for which other credit has been obtained.
2. Improper
collaboration in group work.
3. Copying
or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
