Description du contenu de l'enseignement

The student should acquire the basic knowledge in the:
  • description of the general differential equation for heat transfer within a fluid flow;
  • mathematical derivation of differential equations governing mass transfer;
  • formulation of differential equations governing multiphase mass transport in porous media;
  • use of numerical tools based on the finite element method: application of Freefem++ to 2-dimensional heat transfer equation;
  • control volume finite element method : application of the 3D numerical multiphase multicomponent code cubicM, together with pre- and post-processing tools (Gmsh, Paraview and Gnuplot).

Compétences à acquérir

  • Physical understanding of the basic differential equations governing the heat and mass transfer, fluid flow and the related processes;
  • Numerical resolution of the advection-diffusion equation for given initial and boundary conditions using either Finite Differences, Finite Elements or Finite Volume Elements;
  • Choice of appropriate boundary condition for a given physical problem and evaluation of the achievement of steady-state conditions of heat /mass transfer;
  • Quantification of the limits of numerical codes (numerical diffusion, numerical instabilities…).
