Computational Fluid Dynamics and Hydrodynamics JEE509
Introduction
The design and analysis of engineering fluid systems and marine vehicles require the prediction of the fluid behaviour and the interaction between the fluid and the system. This requires a good knowledge of fluid dynamic principles and the behaviour under varying boundary and operational conditions. This unit introduces students to numerical methods used to solve applied fluid dynamics and maritime hydrodynamics. It includes the use of commercial CFD packages and the analysis of results and flow visualisation to investigate the flow and behaviour of the fluid system or marine vehicle.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Key Dates

* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
Unit census dates currently displaying for 2024 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2024 will be available from the 1st October 2023. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Apply the mathematical formulation of the basic laws governing laminar and turbulent fluid flow, including heat transfer and turbulence models.
- Develop an appropriate domain discretisation for CFD simulations on typical marine vehicles, structures, and systems to obtain stable simulations and estimate the accuracy.
- Determine and evaluate the hydrodynamic forces and flow characteristics of marine vehicles, structures, and systems. Interpret the observed flow characteristics and the obtained hydrodynamic forces to judge the performance of maritime systems and discuss the limitations in the simulation process and advantages and disadvantages compared to model test experiments and other simulation techniques.
- Document the evaluation in the form of a technical report to professional written standards.
