CE 4250 - Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Institution:
Southern Utah University
Subject:
Civil Engineering
Description:
This course introduces the Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for analyzing and simulating fluid flow, heat transfer, and related transport phenomena in civil and mechanical engineering systems. Students will apply numerical methods to model real-world engineering problems using advanced CFD techniques grounded in the science of flow, the study of fluid motion, interaction, and behavior in natural and engineered systems. By applying modern CFD tools, such as Flow-3D, students will explore engineering applications including hydraulic structures, water treatment, aerodynamics, and thermal-fluid systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding the governing equations of fluid motion, discretizing those equations, and verifying and validating CFD results for engineering design and decision-making.
