This course is an introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and numerical heat transfer for advanced undergraduate students who wish to become intelligent users of modern CFD tools. The emphasis will be on verification and validation of solutions obtained using CFD through comparison to analytical and empirical results. At the completion of this course, the student will have an appreciation for both the capabilities and limitations of modern CFD tools, as well as the ability to critically analyze a CFD solution to determine it's validity through post-processing and an understanding of flow phenomena.
