57:020 Fluid Mechanics

Purpose
•The objective of CFD is to model the continuous fluids with Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and discretize PDEs into an algebra problem, solve it, validate it and achieve simulation based design instead of “build & test”
•Simulation of physical fluid phenomena that are difficult to be measured by experiments: scale simulations (full-scale ships, airplanes), hazards (explosions,radiations,pollution),
physics (weather prediction,
planetary boundary layer, stellar evolution).
