MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) (TSM_CFD)

This module provides students with an introduction to CFD by imparting knowledge of state-of-the-art techniques in computational fluid dynamics, with the emphasis on fluid physics and verification/assessment.

Requisiti

  • Knowledge of fluid mechanics: laminar, turbulent, compressible, incompressible, steady-state and non-steady-state flow
  • Knowledge of thermodynamics: conservation of mass and energy, equation of state (ideal gas, incompressible fluid), heat capacity, thermal conductivity
  • Basic knowledge of numerical methods
  • Basic knowledge of CFD simulation methods and tools is desirable

Obiettivi di apprendimento

Students who have completed this module are able to:

  • understand the potential of computational fluid dynamics for product development and be aware of its limits
  • verify simulation results and critically assess simulation models
  • understand the properties of the numerics behind the code

Categoria modulo

  • Motivation: objectives of computational fluid dynamics, meaning and economic benefit of numerical simulation, integration of numerical simulation in product development, possibilities and limits
  • Introduction to physical and technical systems and their describing equations: fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, others
  • Idealization and modeling: classification of the simulation tasks (steady-state, transition, 2D, 3D, symmetry, etc.), modeling based on geometry, flow properties, boundary conditions
  • Verification and assessment: solving equations correctly, solving the correct equations, interpretation of simulation results, error possibilities and sources

Metodologie di insegnamento e apprendimento

Ex cathedra, practical exercises and case studies
