AERO40122 15 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 4 Georgios Fourtakas Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <p>The unit builds on previous course units which have covered basic finite volume CFD approximations. It extends this knowledge to give an understanding of how more complex flows can be modelled, with an appreciation of the effects different approximation schemes may have on the accuracy and stability of solutions. The unit also broadens the range of numerical methods studied by students, providing an overview of a number of specialized methods suitable for particular flow applications.</p> <p>The unit builds on previous course units which have covered basic finite volume CFD approximations.
