Semester 1 |
| Outcomes |
Students gain advanced knowledge of methods of numerical analysis used in modern hydraulics and fluid mechanics, and the skills to apply these methods to practical problems involving fluid flow, fluid pressure and hydrodynamic forces. |
| Content |
This unit covers the application of finite difference, finite volume and finite element methods to fluid flow problems, turbulence models, mesh generation and post-processing techniques for fluid dynamics, simulation of engineering flow problems and the use of engineering flow simulation packages. |
| Assessment |
This comprises an end-of-semester examination, written assignments and simulation projects. The examination assesses students' understanding of basic computational fluid mechanics theory and the ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution in the context of computational hydraulics and fluid dynamics. Written assignments and computer simulation projects are used for continuous assessment and to enable students to monitor their own understanding and progress during the unit.
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit. |

- The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of going to press but may be subject to change.
- Assistance with study skills, including English language skills, is available free of charge from Student Services for all enrolled students (see http://www.studentservices.uwa.edu.au/ss/learning). Student Services location: Second Floor, South Wing, Guild Village; telephone: 6488 2423.
- Books and other materials wherever listed may be subject to change. Book lists relating to 'Preliminary Reading', 'Recommended Reading' and 'Textbooks' are, in most cases, available at the University Co-operative Bookshop (from early January) and appropriate administrative offices for students to consult. For first-year units the Bookshop will endeavour to make available photocopies of book lists for individual units. Books marked with an asterisk (*) are available in paperback.
