Brief Syllabus:
Introduction: Governing equations for fluid flow and heat transfer, classifications of PDE, finite difference formulation, various aspects of finite difference equation, error and stability analysis, dissipation and dispersion errors, modified equations; Solutions of simultaneous equations: iterative and direct methods, TDMA, ADI; Elliptic PDE: One- and Twodimensional steady heat conduction and their solutions, extension to three-dimensional; Parabolic PDE: Unsteady heat conduction, explicit and implicit methods, solution of boundary layer equation, upwinding; Solution of incompressible N-S equation: Stream function and vorticity formulation, primitive variable methods: MAC and SIMPLE.
Objectives:
The primary objective of the course is to teach fundamentals of computational method for solving linear and non-linear partial differential equations (PDE). The course offers introductory concepts about solving PDE mainly in the finite difference (FD) framework though some amount of finite volume (FV) concept has also been introduced.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of undergraduate heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
Course content:
Lecture-wise break-up (lecture duration: 50 minutes)
