Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Students will be able to describe the flow types and the formation of the boundary layer and will be able to express the aerodynamic resistance of the bodies. They will know the basics of turbulent flow. They will be able to define the flow problems around road and rail vehicles at lower and high speeds. Understand the importance of aerodynamic elements in the construction of road and rail vehicles. They will be able to describe the principles of measuring the aerodynamic properties of vehicles in the aerodynamic tunnel. Students will be able to define marginal conditions after completing the subject and to construct a mathematical model of flow around and inside the vehicle and possibly including natural convection and heat transfer of walls. Students will then be able to apply a defined mathematical model to any CAD model and solve the final volume method using ANSYS Fluent or CFX software. An important part of the work will be the assessment of the solution, the comparison with the available theories and experiments and the determination of solvability limits for the area of aerodynamics of vehicles.

Summary

The course focuses on the possibilities of mathematical modeling of flow connected with the obstruction of bodies (road and rail vehicles). Furthermore, with the creation of computational networks for mathematical modeling of flow. Students will broaden their theoretical knowledge in the area of weight, torque and heat transfer in turbulent flow. For the solution of the partial differential equations system describing the physical nature of the flow, the Final Volume Method (LCM) will be used. The application of the method will be directed to solving the boundary layer at the wall of the obtuse body. Further into the area of the aerodynamic resistance of the bodies. Subsequently to the area of complex aerodynamics of vehicles and therefore investigation of the flow in and around the vehicles connected with single-phase flow, flow of gaseous admixtures or multiphase flow with natural convection or heat transfer by wall. For practical applications, ANSYS Fluent or CFX software is used. The seminar work will cover the creation of a mathematical model and numerical solution of practical tasks that will be directed to the specific focus of doctoral dissertation.
