The finite element method is an analytical tool that can be applied
very effectively to the analysis of many fluid mechanics and heat
transfer problems. This course is intended to provide a thorough
introduction to the basic ideas employed in the application of finite
element techniques to especially fluid flow and heat transfer problems.
A student who successfully completed this course should be able to
perform quick analysis of small problems using the finite element
method and to write full sized application codes for analyzing fluid flow
‘Additionally, mastery of the material
provided in this course will enable the student to more intelligently use
commercially available codes based on the finite element method.
