ADP Fluid Mechanics

The course is recognized as an ADP (Advanced Design Project) for the Master’s programs in "Mechanical and Process Engineering" and "Aerospace Engineering" and is awarded 6 CP. For students under the old PO 2007, participation is also possible upon consultation.

General Information

Topics Covered: The ADP assignment includes a selected problem from fluid dynamics / flow simulation. The results of the simulations must be evaluated and, if available, compared with experimental data. Completing the task also requires engaging with the physical models and numerical methods underlying the simulation. Finally, the results are documented in a final report and presented in an oral presentation.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, numerical methods, flow simulation, ordinary and partial differential equations, programming.

Lecture Cycle: Every semester

Degree programs: Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, …

Language: German or English

Course Dates

The ADP takes place only after prior registration with the department and if the group size is sufficient (at least 4 and at most 7 members). Typically, an ADP runs throughout the entire semester, with regular meetings every 1–2 weeks with the supervising staff.

Registration and Assignment

Registration/topics arranged in consultation with:

Paul Hollmann

Details regarding the formal registration process will be announced after scheduling and finalizing the group members.

Examinations

Grading is based on participation during the ADP, the report, and the final interview.
