Numerical calculation of multiphase flows

Fluid Mechanics Module, Master’s programme MB

4 contact hours per week

Overview

Students will be able to

• apply the fundamentals of numerical fluid dynamics to mechanical engineering problems
• to select and evaluate computational data and methods for fluid dynamics calculations in accordance with scientific criteria
• to select and evaluate computational data and methods in multiphase fluid mechanics, as well as the associated models, in accordance with scientific criteria
