"This course will cover the basics of the finite volume method for incompressible flows on two-dimensional Cartesian grids. Topics include the discretization procedure, interpolation techniques, boundary conditions, flow visualization using ParaView, and CFD errors and uncertainty.  Students will write three codes; the first code solves a pure diffusion problem, the second solves a pure convection problem, and the third solves the Navier-Stokes equations using the SIMPLE pressure-velocity coupling procedure.  The Navier-Stokes solver will be used to solve the ""driven cavity"" problem, and a problem involving the developing flow in a channel.  These three codes are also available for download to, for instance, study the solution procedure, or help in debugging a student written code.  Upon completion of the course students will be familiar with the basics of the finite volume method, enabling a more effective use of a commercial CFD solver, and possess the background necessary to study more advanced CFD techniques."
