This course focuses on the numerical analysis of thermo-fluid dynamics which constitutes one of the fundamentals in mechanical engineering.. By combining lectures and exercises, the course enables students to acquire the ability to apply the achieved knowledge to solve numerically the application problems in thermo-fluid dynamics. .
We aim to teach fundamentals and applications of the numerical analysis to solve the problems in incompressible and compressible thermo-fluid dynamics. Students will learn about the finite difference and finite volume methods.

After showing fundamentals of the governing equations, classes are devoted to Poisson-equation solver, treatment of the convective term (upwind method), time-integration methods. and then standard numerical schemes for incompressible flow. We proceed to lecture on the numerical schemes for compressible flow, e.g., the TVD scheme. The cource advances to to lecture on parallel computing and recent development in computational fluid dynamics.
