Learning outcome

Knowledge: After having passed the exam of the subject the student should know the methodology and main principles of computational fluid dynamics: general equations, methods of solutions, characteristics of different mesh types, turbulence models.

Skills: The student should be able to carry out any flow simulation using necessary guides and books as well as understand and interpret the results.

General Competence: The student can simulate any case independently and master terminology of the field as well as analyze relevant academic, professional and research solution of a flow.
