Models and applications in Computational Fluid Mechanics 

Description: 

The course refers to the use of computational fluid dynamics techniques to address advanced applications in environmental, cardiovascular and industrial contexts. Each topic will be corroborated by a set of numerical examples to be performed within the open source C++ finite volume library OpenFOAM.

Content:

• Introduction to Finite Volume discretization

First module: Ocean and Atmospheric Flows

• Navier-Stokes equations in stream function-vorticity formulation

• Quasi Geostrophic equations

• Compressible Euler equations with buoyancy effects

Second module: Cardiovascular Flows

• Multiscale modelling for the simulation of the blood flows in idealized geometries

• Applications to patient-specific configurations

Third module: Examples of Industrial Applications

• Multiphase and conjiugate heat transfer modelling for refrigeration systems

• Fluid-solid modeling for pharmaceutical applications
