  86641 - INDUSTRIAL FLUID-DYNAMICS ING-IND/08 6 6 CFU CARATTERIZZANTI Ingegneria Energetica e Nucleare
The course has two objectives, integrated and complementary to each other: first, to provide the conceptual, analytical and numerical bases of compressible flows prediction, in presence of turbulence, heat transfer and, if necessary, also chemical reactions, typically found in energy-related industrial processes, second, to provide an overview, and, in some cases, a direct operational experience (‘training’) on the application of CFD software tools (Computational Fluid Dynamics, also in the 'Reactive’ version, CRFD) now so widespread and applied in industry. Since the main target of the course is to convey operational skills to the students, the emphasis will be more centred on the correct methodological approach to perform a sound CFD analysis, even complex, as well as on a proper 'engineering' interpretation of results, in terms of their physical consistency, trends’ capturing and validation capability, rather than to provide students with competences related to turbulent Navier-Stokes equations’ numerical programming. On the other hand, these equations, at least at a basic level, must be already known in their properties and application potential.
