Aim of the course

The course's main objective is to give the students a thorough knowledge of turbulence modeling in CFD from the theoretical and practical points of view. We will cover RANS models and scale-resolving simulations or SRS (DES and LES) during the course. We will also address the accuracy and reliability of turbulent simulations, as well as discretization techniques, solution strategies, and best standard practices when conducting CFD simulations. At the end of the course, the students should be able to choose the best turbulence model for their applications and critically assess the influence of turbulence models on the outcome of CFD simulations, independently of the software used. Hands-on sessions will be delivered to reinforce the knowledge acquired.


Software

During the course, we will use the following software and applications:
Students should bring their computer with all the software installed. All the software to be used is free and can be downloaded at the links provided.
