Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics

Aug 6: New dates for the course: Monday Sep 28 - Friday Oct 2, 2020. The course will be online using Zoom.

The course deals with current numerical methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics in the context of high performance computing. An emphasis is placed on explicit methods for compressible flows, but classical numerical methods for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are also covered. A brief introduction to turbulence modelling is also provided by the course. Additional topics are high order numerical methods for the solution of systems of partial differential equations. The last day is dedicated to parallelization. 

Hands-on sessions will manifest the contents of the lectures. In most of these sessions, the application Framework APES will be used. They cover grid generation using Seeder, visualization with ParaView and the usage of the parallel CFD solver Ateles on the local HPC system. 

The course is organized by HLRS, IAG (University of Stuttgart) and STS, ZIMT (University of Siegen).

Prerequisites and content levels

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of partial differential equations and physics. The working environment is a cluster system, where shell and Unix experience is recommended. Programming experience is not required.

Installation of the following software is required on your local system in advance:

  • FortiVPN to access the HLRS compute resources (you will receive username and password shortly before the course)
  • TurboVNC and Paraview for visualisation
  • The Zoom App (not the browser version)

All three applications can be installed for free.

Content levels

Community: 30 hours
