MEAM 646 - Computational Mechanics

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): ENM 510, ENM 511, and one graduate level introductory course in mechanics. FORTRAN or C programming experience is necessary. The course is divided into two parts. The course first introduces general numerical techniques for elliptical partial differential equations - finite difference method, finite element method and spectral method. The second part of the course introduces finite volume method. SIMPLER formulation for the Navier-Stokes equations will be fully described in the class. Students will be given chances to modify a program specially written for this course to solve some practical problems in heat transfer and fluid flows.
