Modeling of fluid flow with heat transfer

The student will be able to explain the physical nature of turbulence and formulate mathematical models of laminar and turbulent flow with heat transfer based on systems of partial differential equations complemented by appropriate initial and boundary conditions. They will also be able to account for various types of boundary conditions, including wall conditions, heat transfer through walls, time-dependent processes, and multiphase flow. The student will be able to characterize and apply fundamental turbulence models and use them in solving practical problems such as flow around obstacles, lift forces, natural convection, and heat transfer. At the same time, they will be able to use the software tool ANSYS Fluent, based on the finite volume method, for the numerical solution of these problems.
