Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

FT66 (P241-0156) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.04.2016 , semester 6, optional course, general subject
FT66 (P241-0156) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 6, optional course, general subject
MAB.4.2.2.19 (P241-0156) Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2013 , optional course, specialisation
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Marco Günther
Lecturer:
Dipl.-Ing. Igor Golberg

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the essential elements and functionalities of current software programs, which are necessary to perform numerical flow simulations. They will be familiar with the principles and fundamentals of creating numerical meshes, setting up and performing flow simulations and the essential methods for evaluating results. They will be able to model simple flow problems independently using software, apply standard methods of calculation and interpret the results.
