OVERVIEW

The course is aimed at presenting current CFD methods for fluid-machinery and industrial applications. The student will learn the basic numerical tecniques that form the backbone of commercial packages for CFD applications and will develop a critical attitude toward the use of the above technology, already widely used in industry for product design and development.
