Goals and content

• know the three components of CFD: preprocessing, processing, postprocessing.
• will be able to create and mesh simple geometries.
• will be able to set up, calculate and evaluate a complete simulation.
• know the possibilities of evaluation of the results and flow visualization.
• know how flow situations can be analyzed.

In the practical course, the components of a computational fluid dynamics cycle are worked through. First, moderately complicated geometries are created and meshed. After configuration and execution of a calculation, the results are displayed and evaluated in a visualization software. While in the first part of the practical these steps are worked through in a guided manner, in the second part calculation cycles are carried out independently. The test cases are discussed in detail and allow to strengthen the affinity to fluid mechanics.
