ATMS 502
Numerical Fluid Dynamics

Credit:  4 hours.


Addresses numerical techniques for solving linear and nonlinear differential equations in initial value fluid flow problems. Students receive a thorough background in the principles used to evaluate numerical methods, the ability to critically interpret these methods as presented in the literature, and in particular, the practical application of these techniques in modeling multi-dimensional flow on high-performance computers. Temporal and directional splitting, finite differencing/volume methods, and adaptive nesting will be discussed. Same as CS 505 and CSE 566. Prerequisite: MATH 241 (formerly MATH 243) or MATH 380; or consent of instructor.
