Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics. Turbulence, RANS equations, turbulence models, large eddy simulation (LES), direct numerical simulation (DNS). Numerical solution of transfer equations, convection, diffusion. Solution of one and two-dimensional flows with finite differences. Examples. Introduction to finite volume method. SIMPLE, PISO algorithms. Grids. Discretization, accuracy, stability, convergence criteria. Flow visualization and assessment of solution. CFD applications in Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics. Volume of fluids (VOF) method. Presentation of specialized software, such as OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent and cloud computing (e.g. SimScale) for the solution of fluid dynamics problems.
