Objectives:
This course is designed to give graduate mechanical engineering students CFD techniques and the use of
these techniques in the solution of problems of fluid dynamics.

Outcomes:
1. A sound understanding of the governing equations in fluid dynamics and their physical aspects.
2. An ability to distinct between initial and boundary value problems and their occurrences in physical
systems.
3. Apply Runge-Kutta Methods to numerically solve the initial boundary problems.
4. Apply finite difference and shooting methods to numerically solve the boundary value problems
5. Make a distinction among elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations and understand the corresponding
physical phenomena
6. Ability to develop finite difference formulations using Taylor's series expansion
7. Ability to perform stability and consistency analyses of given finite difference equations
8. Ability to solve parabolic equations using explicit and implicit methods
9. Ability to solve elliptic equations using iterative methods
10. Ability to derive the vorticity-stream function equations and solve them numerically both for inviscid and
viscous flow.
11. Ability to solve compressible Euler equations using Lax-Wendroff and MacCormack's methods
