Computational Analysis unit (ENG714)

Introduction

This unit introduces students to computational analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The unit covers background theory and numerical methods and explores the application of commercial software in solving practical problems with an emphasis on design and optimisation of solutions.

Learning Outcomes

• Develop CFD and FEA models and apply accepted formal procedures to verify them with regard to mesh, time-step and physics settings.
• Identify or derive relevant analytic or empirical solutions to continuum mechanics problems and apply them toward validaing computational mechanics models.
• Design and optimise an engineering component subjected to fluid-structure interactions using multiphysics simulations.
• Communicate outcomes of computational mechanics simulations to discipline peers through a technical report that follows professional expectations, conventions and standards of presentation.
