ONLINE COURSE: Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics
Overview
This course will be provided as ONLINE course (using Zoom).
The course deals with current numerical methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics in the context of high performance computing. An emphasis is placed on explicit methods for compressible flows, but classical numerical methods for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are also covered. A brief introduction to turbulence modelling is also provided by the course. Additional topics are high order numerical methods for the solution of systems of partial differential equations. The last day is dedicated to parallelization.
Hands-on sessions will manifest the contents of the lectures. In most of these sessions, the application Framework APES will be used. They cover grid generation using Seeder, visualization with ParaView and the usage of the parallel CFD solver Ateles on the local HPC system.
The course is organized by HLRS, IAG (University of Stuttgart) and STS, ZIMT (University of Siegen).
Program
See link to the detailed program (preliminary, refers to the analogous classroom course in Siegen).
Schedule might vary in this online course.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of partial differential equations and physics. The working environment is a cluster system, where shell and Unix experience is recommended. Programming experience is not required.
Installation of the following software is required on your local system in advance:
- FortiVPN to access the HLRS compute resources (you will receive username and password shortly before the course)
- TurboVNC and Paraview for visualisation
- The Zoom App (not the browser version)
All three applications can be installed for free.

Organization
PRACE PATC and bwHPC-C5
HLRS is part of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which is one of the six PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs)
that started in Feb. 2012.
HLRS is also member of the Baden-Württemberg initiative bwHPC-C5.
This course is provided within the framework of the bwHPC-C5 user Support.
This course is not part of the PATC curriculum and is not sponsored by the PATC program.
