CO1
This course is intended to develop the skill of solving fluid flow, heat transfer, mass
transfer and related phenomena numerically.
CO2
This course starts with a discussion on mathematical behaviour and physical meaning
of governing equations of fluid dynamics. Then it covers different discretization methods
and grid generation techniques.
CO3
Finally, students will learn different/Mislaneous CFD techniques and they will apply
these techniques for solving simple problems.
CO4 As a part of this course, students will also solve real-life/Engineering problems by using
commercial/Open source CFD package.
Teaching Methodology
The pedagogy for this course consists of class-room instruction explaining formal methods and
techniques of CFD. It aims at people who are reading this course first time. However
mathematical level and the prior background in fluid dynamics/mechanics of under graduate
level is assumed in before start of this course.

Note:
It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be regular in maintaining the
self study schedule as given in the course handout, attend the online/on demand
lectures as per details that would be put up in the BITS eLearn (Taxila) website
elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in and take all the prescribed components of the evaluation such
as Assignments/Quizes, Mid Semester and End Semester Examination according to
the Evaluation Scheme given in the respective Course Handout.
If the student is unable to appear for the Regular Examination due to genuine
exigencies, the student must refer to the procedure for applying for Make-up
Examination, which will be available through the Important Information link on the e
Learn website on the date of the Regular Examination. The Make-up Tests/Exams will
be conducted only at selected exam centre's on the dates to be announced later.
