The separate module in Advanced Computer-Based Fluid Dynamics is aimed at engineers with a background in the thermal and fluid dynamic range from e.g. energy authorities, manufacturers of energy supply systems and others working with thermal and flow-related issues.

Knowledge

• You will gain detailed knowledge of the applications of advanced CFD modelling of different types of flow problems.
• You will understand the basic coupling between finite-volume models and the modeled parameters of advanced turbulence models.
• You will understand the limitations of the different types of advanced submodels involved in CFD modeling.

Skills

• You will be able to set up complex flow problems including the necessary boundary conditions in CFD software.
• You will understand the possibilities of implementing custom code in CFD software.

Competences

• You will be able to model and simulate complex flow phenomena for both internal and external flows in relation to real applications.

It is expected that the module will be partly offered via physical teaching, but online or hybrid teaching will also be used to the extent relevant.

The module is offered in English.

The course is assessed by internal oral examination based on assignments solved through the course.

The module is affiliated with the section for 'thermal engineering' at Aalborg University, Department of Energy, and will be offered by world-leading researchers and teachers in the field.

Exact dates to be announced – the course is scheduled from March - June 2027.

Exam: in June

Aalborg University

In addition to the participation fee, you should expect expenses for literature, meals, transportation, and possibly accommodation.

• A relevant Bachelor’s degree followed by at least two years of relevant work experience obtained after the completion of the qualifying education.
• The course requires prerequisites equivalent to an engineering degree at bachelor level in either basic fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transmission. 

If there are more qualified applicants than the number of study places available, selection will be based on an overall academic assessment of each applicant. This assessment will consider the applicant’s educational background, current and previous job functions, and affiliation with a company, organisation, or institution.

We admit a maximum of 20 students on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
