1. Aim and Summary

This course intends to impart concepts of fluid mechanics and the use of CFD techniques
to solve practical engineering problems. The students are taught the fundamentals of
external and internal flows, laminar and turbulent flows and boundary layer flows. The
students are taught the basics of CFD and CFD modeling and analysis. Students will be able
to model a flow problem and derive discretised equations. They will be able to solve practical
problems and critically evaluate the results.
