Course description

Computational analysis of problems in solid and fluid mechanics using the finite element (FEM) and finite volume (FVM) methods, respectively, in the context of product lifecycle management (PLM). The FEM component addresses strain energy, interpolation functions, element types, two-dimensional analysis types, plate and shell models, and an introduction to nonlinear analysis. The computational fluid dynamics (i.e. FVM) component addresses transient and steady-state flows, laminar and turbulent regimes, boundary layer and turbulence modelling, and stability criteria. Topics common to both approaches include problem decomposition, appropriate selection of boundary conditions, grid convergence, model verification and validation, and data visualisation and interrogation.
