Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics

Welcome to Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics

Description: 

• Day 1. Fundamentals of CFD
• Day 2. Turbulent flow modeling
• Day 3. Multiphase flow modeling
• Day 4. Reacting flow modeling

Reacting multiphase flows underpin not only conventional thermochemical conversion technologies but also emerging green technologies such as CCUS, green fuels, and negative-emission technologies. The most powerful and cost-effective path to innovation in these technologies is advanced CFD-based modeling and virtual testing, supported by targeted real-world testing. Only after this foundation is in place can system-level process modeling/integration be truly effective. It is important to recognize such a basic fact and invest proper effort in advanced CFD, rather than focusing only on process modeling.

Including learning objectives: This advanced CFD course will provide a familiarity with and an in-depth understanding of fundamentals of CFD, and advanced modeling of turbulent flows, multiphase flows and reacting flows.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in fluid flow, turbulence, multiphase flow, chemical reactions, programming

Form of evaluation: Finish a mini-project and submit the mini-project report.

Important information concerning PhD courses:  There is a no-show fee of DKK 3,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before the start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start of the course.

We cannot ensure any seats before the deadline for enrolment, all participants will be informed after the deadline, approximately 3 weeks before the start of the course.

For inquiries regarding registration, cancellation or waiting list, please contact the PhD administration at phdcourses@adm.aau.dk When contacting us please state the course title and course period. Thank you.
