• Governing equations and models in fluid mechanics
• Steady problems: the Finite-Difference Method (FDM)
• Unsteady problems: methods of time integration
• Advection-diffusion problems
• The Finite-Volume Method
• Solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
• Grids and their properties
• Boundary conditions 

The students who successfully take this module should:

• assess under what circumstances some terms in these equations can be negelcted
• formulate a FDM for the solution of unsteady transport equations
• asess the convergence, consistency and stability of a FDM
• formulate a FVM for the solution of unsteady transport equations
• know how to solve the Navier-Stokes equation with the FVM
• implmement programs in matlab/octave to simulate fluid flow
• assess the quality and validity of a fluid flow simulation
• work in team and write a report describing the results and significance of a simulation
• know the different types of grids and when to use them
