Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After reading this course the student should be:
- familiar with the differential equations for flow phenomena and numerical methods for their solution
- able to use and develop flow simulation software for the most important classes of flows in engineering and science.
- able to critically analyse different mathematical models and computational methods for flow simulations
- able undertake flow computations using current best practice for model and method selection, and assessment of the quality of results obtained.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
- A course in computer science or programming (e.g. DD1342);
- A background in either fluid mechanics or numerical methods, equivalent to an advanced course in numerical methods (eg SF2520, 2521, 2561) or fluid mechanics (eg SG2214), or equivalent
- English B / English 6
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Lecture notes and several recommended books
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- LABA - Home work and computer assignments, 4.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TENA - Written exam, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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.
Other requirements for final grade
One written or oral examination (TEN1; 3 university credits).
Homework and computer assignments (LAB1; 4,5 university credits).
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
