Objectives
Be able to carry out a priori analysis (modeling) and a posteriori analysis (interpretation), as well as numerical simulation of an industrial flow problem.
Particular emphasis is placed on aerodynamics and the application of knowledge acquired in the field of aeronautics.
Program
- Module 1: Aerodynamics and Turbulence
Provides the necessary elements for modeling and analyzing viscous compressible flow in the aeronautics and automotive fields. Part of the module is devoted to the study and modeling of turbulence, a difficult aspect of flow analysis and simulation in aeronautics. - Module 2: Numerical methods in fluid mechanics
Learn how to set up (method, boundary conditions, etc.), analyze (stability, accuracy, etc.), and successfully complete a flow simulation based on the regime in question (compressible, subsonic or supersonic, incompressible). - Module 3: Acoustics in fluids
Present the characteristics of sound in fluid media, then study the generation, propagation, and diffraction of acoustic waves. Applications to cases such as aircraft noise or the supersonic bang will be discussed. - Module 4: Incompressible and multi-fluid flows
Covers incompressible flows and certain specific aspects of complex flows, such as non-Newtonian fluids and their unusual behavior, or liquid-gas flows encountered, for example, in the nuclear field. Coupling with thermal dynamics will be addressed. An application in foundry is included in the program. - Module 5: Case studies and practical work
Includes wind tunnel experiments, practical work on implementing calculation codes, exercise sessions applying course content, and tackling industrial problems.
