CFD Workshop Plan - Tagged

The document outlines a course schedule for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) meshing and simulation. Over four class periods, students will learn about meshing geometry, setting boundary conditions and turbulence models, selecting solution methods, and analyzing results. In-class exercises include flow over a cylinder and transonic flow over an airfoil. Homework includes similar problems as well as channel flow. The final section details additional practice problems involving various fluid flow scenarios.
