Course Description:	-
Course Objectives:	The main objective of this course is to provide foundations for understanding the numerical methods on CFD and to familiarize with them with hands-on experience. At the end of this course, the student will learn and evaluate how applications of various numerical schemes are used to illustrate the different aspects of CFD; will improve the understanding of the limitations and advantages of CFD; will discover why CFD is the tool for fluid flow numerical modeling and simulation.
