Marine CFD

M.Sc - NTNU

3–6 Months

Masters of Science Programes

Course Overview

The first part of the course aims at providing basic knowledge of CFD such as different mathematical and numerical methods and how these can be combined into a CFD solver. The second part focuses on application on these methods, the choice of appropriate methods for different problems and how to ensure that a CFD simulation is accurate. The third part gives some perspectives on application of CFD for marine problems, such as the application of turbulence models, treatment of free surfaces, and the main idea behind parallellization.

Main Goal

The main goal is to gain knowledge and apply methods of computational fluid dynamics in marine technology.

Skills to be Gained

Gain skills in CFD modelling and analysis for marine applications.
