The course provides an introduction to the numerical simulation of laminar and turbulent incompressible flows by using a finite volume method. Each topic will be corroborated by a set of numerical examples to be performed within the open source C++ finite volume library OpenFOAM.
All lectures will be delivered at SISSA.
- Well posedness of an abstract problem
- Numerical approximation of an abstract problem: consistency, convergence and stability
- Lax–Richtmyer theorem
- Derivation of finite difference schemes
- Discretization of Ordinary Differential Equations: truncation error, Von Neumann stability analysis
