Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been successfully used for improved understanding, trouble shooting, innovative design and optimization of technologies and facilities in numerous areas such as energy, mechanical, environmental, health, chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industry. This advanced CFD course will provide a familiarity with and an in-depth understanding of fundamentals of CFD, turbulence modelling, multiphase flow modelling, reacting flow modelling, and user-defined functions and expressions.
- Day 1: Fundamentals of CFD (intro to CFD; the finite volume method for various steady and unsteady problems; different spatial and temporal discretization schemes – their formulation and assessment). Lecturer: Chungen Yin, 7.4 hours
- Day 2: RANS turbulence modeling (SIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling; fundamentals of turbulence; different isotropic eddy viscosity models; near-wall modeling; meshing impact and strategies). Lecturer: Chungen Yin, 7.4 hours
- Day 3: Multiphase flow modeling (different methods for multiphase flow modeling such as Lagrangian method, Eulerian method, mixture & volume of fluid approach; modeling multiphase flow in porous media). Lecturer: Torsten Berning, 7.4 hours
- Day 4: Turbulent combustion/reaction modeling and user-defined functions & expression (combustion analysis tools; species transport/eddy dissipation or EDC; mixture fraction/PDF; fundamentals and examples of user-defined functions and expression). Lecturers: Chungen Yin, 5.4 hours; Tianbao Gu, 2.0 hours
Price: 6000 DKK for PhD students outside of Denmark and 8000 DKK for the Industry excl. VAT
The Danish universities have entered into an agreement that allows PhD students at a Danish university (except Copenhagen Business School) the opportunity to free of charge take a subject-specific course at another Danish university. Guests at AAU Energy can free attend the course.
Payment: A Online link for externals participants will be annonced after deadline for registration
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in fluid flow, turbulence, multiphase flow, chemical reactions, programming
Form of evaluation: finish one of the following mini-projects and submit the mini-project report.
1. numerically solve a general transport equation using the finite volume method and the key
results; or 2. modeling of a turbulent flow using a commercial CFD code both by the default software and by
developing and integrating user-defined functions.
