Obiettivi dell'insegnamento
The course introduces the students to the Computational Fluid-Dynamics, which is used nowadays as a tool for supporting product and process development, prototyping, verification and optimization. The course aims at providing the required abilities to manage the whole CFD project cycle with awareness of the modelling problems involved.
The course is organized in two different modules: theoretical lessons and hands-on session (the SW Ansys-Fluent and license are available to students).
The goal of the first module is to provide the student the tools for a critical understanding of CFD codes. The lectures will be devoted to the introduction of modelling of the key phenomena in the energy engineering: turbulence flows, heat transfer and reactive flow (i.e. combustion). In details the physics of turbulent flows will be outlined, and their numerical modelling will be discussed. The modelling approaches known as RANS, LES and DNS will be introduced, and a description of the main available RANS models is provided. The heat transfer modelling management (conduction, convection and radiation) is presented and discussed.
During the hands-on sessions in computer laboratory, a CFD code is used to solve industrial cases related to energy engineering topics. A posteriori comparison of the simulation results with available experimental results will be used to evaluate the employed approach, with the aim of getting students acquainted with the process of selecting the models and solving procedure for a given problem in the energy engineering.

Prerequisiti
Students are required to know the principles of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, as well as basic knowledge about numerical solution techniques for linear algebraic equations.
ANSYS provides free student products for work done inside and outside the classroom, such as homework. The products can be downloaded on web academic portal. ANSYS Student products can be installed on any supported MS Windows 64-bit machine. More information available on www.ansys.com.
Modalità di valutazione
The exam is based on the evaluation of the final report related to the case study supplied to the students during exam session. Will be evaluated and judged the capability to applied proper models, to solve the numerical models and to discuss, from engineering point of view, the obtained results.
The oral discussion aims at evaluating the acquisition of proper knowledge about numerical modelling and methods.
The discussion about the final report and the analisys of .cas and .dat files related to the simulation allows to evaluate the student's capabilities to manage a CFD code and to present the results with structured format. The discussion about numerical results puts in evidence the awarness of the numerical methodologies to be used in energy engineering analyses.
