PROF:    Paul Palies

This course is focused on data sciences applied to fluid mechanics numerical simulations and experimental data. As computational power increases, it enables to model industrial applications and fluid mechanics processes by Computational Fluid Dynamics tools with more spatial and time resolutions as well as considering sub-system-level simulations. The amount of data generated is significant and requires dedicated methods and techniques to interrogate and analyses them. Within this context, this class aims at presenting flowfield decompositions, selected CFD discretization’s algorithm to solve for basic flow, and data analyses techniques such as FFT, POD, and DMD. The students undertake implementation of the presented algorithms in R, MatLab, and/or Python. The basics of these tools are also introduced. There are three majors elements tackled during this special topic: Introduce static/dynamic flow (SDFD) and other flow decompositions, Conduct implementation of the relevant equations for selected flows, Conduct data analyses and implementation of algorithm to interrogate and visualize data (CFD data and experimental flame images) including FFT, Phase-locking, POD, DMD and other recent techniques.

This is a three-credit hour course.   Laptop is required as well as background in MatLab, R or Python.

Repeatability: May be repeated. Maximum 6 hours.

This course provides an introduction and review of analytical mathematical concepts relevant for advanced studies in engineering and science for modeling and problem solving. Topics covered include ordinary differential equations, perturbation techniques, partial differential equations, complex variable calculus, Fourier analysis, and probability/statistics. The intent is to prepare students for advanced study in topics like heat transfer, dynamical systems, viscous/inviscid fluid flow, turbulence, and more. **Note that this course has departmental approval to count as a graduate math credit for MABE departmental degree programs.

Repeatability: May be repeated. Maximum 6 hours.
