This unit focuses on various techniques used to extract useful information from numerical and simulation tools. The focus is on how to use numerical simulation tools effectively in design and optimisation, and will concentrate on state-of-the-art numerical analysis techniques required to: couple fluid simulation tools with structural dynamics tools to allow fluid-structural interaction: build efficient surrogate and interpolation models for data space exploration; perform effective aerodynamic shape optimisation. Particular focus is on aerospace engineering applications.
The aim of this unit is to equip the student with:
On successful completion of the course the students will be able to understand, implement and assess numerical techniques for:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
Summer online exam
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. AENGM0065).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
