Summary
The subject deals with the physical meaning of turbulence and mathematical models of laminar and turbulent flow with heat transfer. The mathematical model is defined by a system of partial differential equations and supplemented by boundary and initial conditions. In addition to normal hydraulic flow conditions, wall conditions, heat transfer through the wall, time-dependent boundary conditions, and conditions for multi-phase flow are also taken into account. Classical models of turbulence are defined in detail. The theory is applied to examples solving bypassing of obstacles, buoyancy force, natural convection, heat transfer through the wall, etc. For the solution is applied software product Ansys-Fluent, which uses the finite volume method.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
In this course, students will learn in detail the basic concepts of modeling fluid flow and heat transfer, ie conduction and convection. They will also gain knowledge about mathematical models of multiphase flow with phase change (eg cavitation), optimization of geometry in terms of hydraulic quantities and the possibility of modeling time-dependent vortex structures. They will learn to solve selected problems using available software.
