Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a cornerstone of modern engineering and a technology which is regarded as crucial to the success of the major economies. Along with more traditional modelling techniques, this subject provides exposure to the numerical methods in CFD computer codes and experience in the practical application of commercial CFD packages. Importantly, it develops in students skill in the evaluation of the solution integrity. The subject culminates in a major project of the students' own choosing. On completion, students should have proficiency to undertake leadership roles in this exciting new field across the entire engineering spectrum and, in particular, in the mechanical, aeronautical, civil and environmental context. The subject has particular relevance to the design of vehicles, buildings, structures, engines, turbomachinery, manufacturing processes, heat transfer, combustion behaviour, pollutant dispersal, weather patterns, ocean currents and biomedical phenomena.

Assessment: Projects (40 per cent), assignments (40 per cent), examination (20 per cent).
