CFD Class

Welcome! This webpage contains the course materials for the Computational Fluid Dynamics (ENGS 150) class that I taught at Dartmouth College from 2002-2006. The focus of the class is on applied Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Course materials can be found below. These are provided for educational purposes only.

This class used the book An introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Finite Volume Method by Versteeg and Malalasekera, Longman Scientific & Technical. It also used the Multimedia Fluid Mechanics CD-ROM by Homsy et al., Cambridge University Press. The lectures posted below contain some materials from that book and CD-ROM. I therefore recommend that users of the materials that I posted here also purchase those.

Students completed CFD projects as part of this class. These articles highlight some interesting projects: Ivy League CFD Simulations and Having Fun While Studying CFD.
