What to Study
- Governing equations / mathematical models
- Non-Newtonian fluid (e.g. ketchup, honey, toothpaste, blood etc.)
- Numerical approaches based on FEM
- Methods for unsteady problems
- Turbulent flows
- High performance computing for CFD
Terminologies
Turbulence
chaotic, hard to tackle. usually appears with high-speed motions.
Viscosity
A fluid’s internal resistance to flow.
Incompressible Fluids
We consider every type of fluids involved as incompressible, which indicates that we are confronted with a highly-coupled problem. Even a hole on the face with small measure in the sense of
Governing Equations (i)
Fluids vs. Solids
| Intermolecular forces | Molecular arrangement | type of statistics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| solid | strong | ordered | quantum |
| liquid | medium | partially ordered | quantum + classic (what we are interested in) |
| gas | weak | completely disordered | classic |
