To understand the core concepts of numerical methods commonly used in computational models in Fluid Mechanics.
Competency to develop numerical solutions for simple problems (scalar problems). Ability to use existing computational tools for solving complex problems.
Finite difference method, finite element method, finite volume method. Elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations. Irregular boundaries. Pure diffusion, pure convection, convection/diffusion problems, and wave equations. Steady and unsteady flow. Stability analysis, convergence and accuracy of numerical schemes. Case study analysis and MATLAB programming.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE SYLLABUS COHERENCE WITH THE CURRICULAR UNIT'S OBJECTIVES:
The syllabus deal with numerical methods usually applied in Fluid Mechanics and its characteristics, thus ensuring point "Knowledge" of the Learning Outcomes of the curricular unit. Case study analysis and MATLAB programming guarantee point "Skills and Competencies" of the Learning Outcomes of the curricular unit.
The teaching involves sessions with theoretical presentations and discussions. The student grading will be based on written assignments and a written exam if necessary.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The written assignments and the discussion of the UC contents allows for an efficient learning experience at this educational level.
