MCSC 7250G - Advanced Topics in Fluid Dynamics

In many industrial applications, fluid flows need to be described with advanced models and methods, owing to the complexity of the physical system. Such advanced models typically go beyond standard fluid mechanics theory such as Navier-Stokes equations or flow instabilities. This course will introduce a range of advanced approaches to fluid flow modelling. A main focus will lie on recent progress in research and this will be addressed through term projects, based on journal articles. Special attention will be paid to flow in porous media, non-Newtonian fluids, micro and nanoflows, electro-kinetic transport phenomena, (Lattice) Boltzmann methods, and cellular automata and Monte Carlo simulations.
