Course Objective

The widespread availability of engineering work stations together with efficient solution algorithms enable the use of commercial CFD codes by graduate engineers for academic research and design tasks in industry. The ready to use codes that are on the market may be extremely powerful but their operation still requires a high level of understanding in numerical methods for obtaining meaningful results in complex situations.
