    Practical Computational Fluid Dynamics
    8 Jun 2026 - 31 Jul 2026
    An introduction to the practical use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) commercial software. Students will be introduced to the concepts governing CFD, but the majority of the class will be utilized in learning the use of a popular commercial code. May not be used for degree credit with MET 5113.Prerequisite(s): A grade of 'C' or better in MET 3313 or ENSC 3233 or MAE 3333.
