Multiphysics Simulering
About the course
The course may be taken as a single course.
The course covers multiphysics modelling techniques for structural mechanics and fluid mechanics/heat transfer. Students will learn about structures problem and simulation techniques with the use of Finite Element Methods (FEM). Similarly, students will learn about fluid mechanics/heat transfer problems with the use of Finite Volume Methods and Finite Difference Methods (FVM / FDM ). In both, students will learn about governing equations, discretization techniques, initial & boundary conditions, and solving techniques. They will also learn ANSYS® Multiphysics and MATLAB® software.
