Study Notes

Overview of Numerical Analysis

  • Numerical approach is the modern way of solving engineering problems, combining CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
  • Applications of CFD include Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) and more.

Elements of CFD Analysis

  • Pre-processor: involves CAD (Geometry), Meshing, and boundary condition setup.
  • Solver: runs the simulation.
  • Post-processor: views and analyzes the results.

Classification of Physical Behaviors and Partial Differential Equations (PDE)

  • Physical problems related to fluid/solid mechanics, heat transfer, etc. can be modeled by Partial Differential Equations (PDE).
  • Classification of physical behaviors:
  • Equilibrium problems (steady, or time-independent): Elliptic PDE.
  • Marching problems (unsteady state, transient or time-dependent): Parabolic PDE.
  • Hyperbolic PDE.

Examples of PDEs

  • Steady state heat conduction (Laplace equation): elliptic PDE.
  • Unsteady viscous flow/ heat flow: parabolic PDE.
  • Example of Hyperbolic PDE: wave propagation.
