Course schedule
- Intro to CFD; the finite volume method for various steady and unsteady problems; different spatial and temporal discretization schemes – their formulation and assessment.
- SIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling; fundamentals of turbulence; different isotropic eddy viscosity models; near-wall modeling; meshing impact and strategies.
- Different methods for multiphase flow modeling such as Lagrangian method, Eulerian method, mixture & volume of fluid approach; modeling multiphase flow in porous media.
- Combustion analysis tools; species transport/eddy dissipation or EDC; mixture fraction/PDF; fundamentals and examples of user-defined functions and expression.
Reacting multiphase flows underpin not only conventional thermochemical conversion technologies but also emerging green technologies such as CCUS,green fuels, and negative-emission technologies. The most powerful and cost-effective path to innovation in these technologies is advanced CFD-basedmodeling and virtual testing, supported by targeted real-world testing. Only after this foundation is in place can system-level process modeling/integrationbe truly effective. It is important to recognize such a basic fact and invest proper effort in advanced CFD, rather than focusing only on process modeling.
Important information concerning PhD courses
The Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before the start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start.
For inquiries regarding registration, cancellation or waiting list, please contact AAU Energy's administration at hr@energy.aau.dk
