Course Title:

Numerical Heat Transfer Fundamentals 2

Instructor:

To Be Assigned

Course Description:

 This course introduces the student to the use of numerical methods that are commonly used to solve convective heat transfer problems using the finite volume method. Transient, non-linear, three-dimensional heat transfer problems with complicated geometries will be considered.

 

 

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Objective 1: Solve convective heat transfer problems using analytical methods.

Objective 2: Solve convective heat transfer problems using finite volumes.

 

Main Topics to Be Covered:

Analytical and numerical methods for solving partial differential equations in heat transfer. Transient problems. Finite volume methods. Multi-dimensional heat transfer. Grid generation. Curved boundaries.
