MECH 772 - Computational Methods in Thermal Sciences

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: MATH 231, MECH 611, MATLAB experience or consent of program director.
Computational Methods in Thermal Sciences is an introduction to the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Finite difference methods for the solution of fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems are utilized. Students will gain a general understanding of numerical methods, computer programming, and fluid dynamics and heat transfer through project-based assignments. Finite volume methods are also introduced.
