CFD Related Educational Programmes
- International Master's Programme in Turbulence, Chalmers University, Sweden
- A good master program focused on the fundamentals of fluid dynamics.
They also offer many CFD related courses.
- MSc in CFD, Cranfield University, United Kingdom
- A one-year (full-time) or two years (part-time) programme taught at one of the leading aerospace universities in Europe. Covers both theory and a broad range of applications.
- MSc Training Package in CFD, University of Leeds, United Kingdom
- A package of CFD related courses taught by the CFD Center a the University of Leed. They are working on a fairly large range of application areas.
Online Labs - Simulations & Demonstrations
- Java Applets for Engineering Education
![[GOOD]](Icons/smiley.gif)
- Many Java applets related to fluid dynamics. Here are a few examples: Ideal
Flow Machine, Ideal Flow Mapper, Virtual Shock Tube, Compressible Aerodynamics
Calculator, Thermodynamics of Air, Boundary Layer Applets, Boundary Layer
Convection Applets, Heat Conduction Applets, Vortex Panel Method. You can
get the source code for all applets. A lot of work has been put into these
applets. Highly recommended!
- The Java Virtual Wind Tunnel
- An interactive two-dimensional inviscid CFD simulation of a channel with
a bump. You can experiment with different inlet conditions and change 2nd
and 4th order damping, while you see how the solution evolves, cool!! The
numerical method is a standard Jameson explicit Runge-Kutta scheme. Written
by David Oh.
- CFDnet - Computational Fluid Dynamics
on the Internet
- An internet based site that offers server-side meshing, solution and visualization
of fluid flow problems. The user interface is based on a Java applet. The
site is used as an educational tool at the Dalhousie University in Halifax,
Canada.
Online Courses
- Videos About Fluid Dynamics
- Don't miss these excellent classical videos about fluid dynamics. They were created by Ascher Shapiro at MIT back in 1961.
- CALF,
Computer Assisted Learning in Fluids
- An interactive web-based course developed at the Universities of Glasgow
and Paisley. It gives an introduction to CFD and covers subjects like CFD
illustrations, turbulence modeling, parallel computing and grid generation.
Course Material
This section is brand new and has not been filled with content yet. The intention
is to provide links to course material that is available online. If you would
like your course material like lecture notes, slides, exercises and labs linked
from here then please email webmaster@cfd-online.com.
In the mean time, if you are looking for lecture notes you can find some material
in the Online Books section.
- Fluid
Mechanics Interactive Classroom
- Course notes, online lab experiments and more for a course on elementary
fluid mechanics taught by Professor Spyros A. Kinnas at the University of
Texas at Austin.
- Computational
Methods in Fluid Dynamics using Commercial CFD Codes
- A course taught at Stanford by Gianluca
Iaccarino. Has handouts and homeworks available online. Based on Fluent
and Gambit. Very nice introductory material!
- Numerical Methods
