ME 415 - Modeling and Numerical Simulations of Energy and Environmental Systems

Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

3 Credits The course introduces students to the basic methods of numerical modeling for typical physical problems encountered in solid mechanics, thermal/fluid sciences, energy, and environmental systems. Students will learn how to formulate a model in terms of analgebraic or differential equation. Problems that can be solved analytically will be chosen initially and solutions will be obtained by appropriate discrete methods. Basic concepts in numerical methods, such as convergence, stability, and accuracy, will be introduced. Various computational tools will then be applied to more complex problems, with emphasis on finite element and finite difference methods, finite volume techniques, boundary element methods, and gridless Lagrangian methods. Methods of modeling convective nonlineariaties, such as upwind differencing and the Simpler method, will be introduced. Discussion and structural mechanics, internal/external fluid flows, and conduction and convection heat transfer. Steady state, transient, and eigenvalue problems will be addressed with emphasis on aerospace power and environmental systems.
