ABSTRACT
The numerical simulation of engineering problems involving fluid flow, known as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), is getting more and more importance in the solution of complex engineering problems, specially associated with Digital Twins, IoT and Artificial Intelligence, since simulation plays a decisive role in these applications. This mini course aims to furnish the basics of finite volume method, the main numerical technique used in CFD, followed by a demonstration of using those methodologies in several engineering problems.
In the first part of the course, the conservation equations, its integration using finite volume techniques, interpolation functions and aspects of the linear system solutions will be given. In the second part, well-chosen fluid flow examples to demonstrate the capability of the methodology will be shown. Geometry construction and model creation will be also addressed. Real engineering problems, using modern available tools, demonstrating that the numerical simulation is intrinsically tied to the advancement of Industry 4.0 through examples using IoT and virtual prototyping using Digital Twin, will be presented.
