17	Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) Definition: Use of experimental methodology and procedures for solving fluids engineering systems, including full and model scales, large and table top facilities, measurement systems (instrumentation, data acquisition and data reduction), uncertainty analysis, and dimensional analysis and similarity. EFD philosophy: Decisions on conducting experiments are governed by the ability of the expected test outcome, to achieve the test objectives within allowable uncertainties. Integration of UA into all test phases should be a key part of entire experimental program test design determination of error sources estimation of uncertainty documentation of the results

33	Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD is use of computational methods for solving fluid engineering systems, including modeling (mathematical & Physics) and numerical methods (solvers, finite differences, and grid generations, etc.). Rapid growth in CFD technology since advent of computer
34	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).
35	Modeling Mathematical physics problem formulation of fluid engineering system Governing equations: Navier-Stokes equations (momentum), continuity equation, pressure Poisson equation, energy equation, ideal gas law, combustions (chemical reaction equation), multi-phase flows(e.g. Rayleigh equation), and turbulent models (RANS, LES, DES). Coordinates: Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates result in different form of governing equations Initial conditions(initial guess of the solution) and Boundary Conditions (no-slip wall, free-surface, zero-gradient, symmetry, velocity/pressure inlet/outlet) Flow conditions: Geometry approximation, domain, Reynolds Number, and Mach Number, etc.

38	Numerical methods Finite difference methods: using numerical scheme to approximate the exact derivatives in the PDEs Finite volume methods Grid generation: conformal mapping, algebraic methods and differential equation methods Grid types: structured, unstructured Solvers: direct methods (Cramer’s rule, Gauss elimination, LU decomposition) and iterative methods (Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, SOR)
