HPC Techniques in Computational Engineering (P01296)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : PHY-P-P01296

Content will include an overview of CFD methods, including an assessment of incompressible and compressible techniques. An overview of parallelisation strategies, focussing on both structured and unstructured grids. The key implementation details of a number of practical codes will be provided. There will be two practical sessions in which the students will have the opportunity to perform CFD simulations on HPCx.
