Welcome
to the website for the UT Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Laboratory,
an Engineering Science graduate program focus in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace
and Biomedical Engineering (MABE). Herein you will find detailed information
on the various components in this graduate program including current
research projects of the faculty and graduate students. It outlines as well our vision of the exciting
challenges, hence directions for future developments in CFD in the context of advancements in
modern approximation theory, turbulence closure advances, and high performance computing and communications (HPCC) in
the Internet environment.
We hope this information is helpful for prospective graduate students, faculty of other institutions,
and engineers/scientists in industry with significant interest in
the computational engineering sciences in multi-disciplinary applications.
What's new:
Internet brings to engineering an entirely new venue for dissemination
of introductory, graduate level and professional education
content in the computational engineering sciences. Check out the following
opportunities/applications.
-
Graduate Certificate
in CFD: completely Internet-based graduate course sequence
constituted of ES 551, ES 552, ES 645. Completion augmented with an elective, suggested as a first level graduate course in fluid dynamics which may be transferred from a local institution upon approval.
Requires admission to UT Graduate School, counts as first 12
hours towards MSc degree with computational engineering sciences focus.
Read about the content.
-
Professional
Advanced Training: on
a self study basis, complete any of the available computational engineering
sciences academic courses. Of particular interest is the senior UG level "Finite Element Analysis" course including hands on computational labs verifying theory across the spectrum of
heat transfer, structural mechanics, mechanical vibrations, fluid
mechanics and scalar transport.
UT CFD Laboratory Certificate of Completion awarded
for each course completed and the schedule is completely yours. Register directly
with CFD Lab - UT Graduate School admission is not a requirement.
Go to Collaboratory
to read about options and details.

The
Computational Engineering Sciences (2006):
(ISBN 0-9790459-0-8), the outgrowth of organization of
the Internet-enabled
graduate course ES 551, also encompassing the
senior level FEA course ME 452, is the third text
authored by Prof. Baker on the subject of discrete implementation
of weak form constructions in the computational engineering sciences.
Unique to the text is the included DVD containing all Matlab and
COMSOL files for execution of the embedded computer lab exercises.
The DVD also contains 8 RealPlayer-compatible topical lectures from the
Internet archive, viewable on your PC. Available at the UT Bookstore or directly from the publisher www.jcomputek.com
The frontispiece material can be viewed here.
