General description and relevant information The course is focused in the application of the knowledge of modelization of transport phenomena (momentum, heat and mass transfer) to the simulation of environmental flows and flows related to energy using, efficiently, the commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent. During the course the student will learn -To define properly the physical model with knowledge about the mathematical model. -To generate the computational mesh. -To analyse and to interpret the results.
