Computational Fluid Mechanics
Objectives
It is intended that the students acquire: the fundamentals of numerical methods for the solution of Navier-Stokes equations, the perception of how the commercial and open-source computer codes for computational fluid dynamics work, realize their potential and limitations; the computational practice that will allows to solve concrete problems of Fluid Mechanics in any field of engineering, particularly in mechanical engineering; and the ability to evaluate the solutions.
