Prerequisite:
Basics of continuum mechanics is desirable. Knowledge of computer algorithms such as
Newton Raphson Method, shooting method, finite difference methods etc. would be an added
advantage.

Course Objective:
This course would intend the audience to learn fluid flow problems of realistic systems such
as flow through channels, heat engines, piston rings, heat transfer analysis using
mathematical techniques such as finite difference method, finite element method and so on.

Learning Objective:
After crediting this course, a student would be able to simulate real life systems in CFD such
as food processing, oil recovery, heat engines, structural mechanics and so on. Also, the
student would be able to do mathematical formulation and their relevance to convergence,
stability of numerical scheme thereby improving the space and time complexity.
