FDD3371 Advanced Computation in Fluid Mechanics 7.5 credits

The activities of the course are divided into two parts. The first part consists of a number of seminars that emphasise a number of subfields in the field and a number of laboratory sessions that focus on different computational techniques and software tools. The other part of the course is focused on a project defined by the student where the technologies and the tools from the first part of the course are applied on a problem in fluid dynamics.

After the course, the student should (i) have an understanding of theory behind efficient calculation methods for computer simulation in fluid mechanics with a focus on adaptive finite element methods (FEM) for incompressible flow as well as (ii) an ability to use these calculation methods to solve problems in fluid mechanics. Research challenges in the field are emphasised, e g with regard to turbulent flow.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• EXA1 - Examination, 7.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Written examination, laboratory reports as well as project report.
