Textbook
[CTIF] J.Hoffman and C.Johnson, Computational Turbulent Incompressible Flow, Springer, 2007
( order/ download)
Recommended prerequisites
Course DN2260 Finite element methods or equivalent
(see e.g. book "Computational Differential Equations" by Eriksson/Estep/Hansbo/Johnson).
In the course we will use the finite element software Unicorn/Dolfin-hcp,part of the FEniCS project developed at KTH. The software will be installed on the system for this course. Alternatively, you can download and build the software yourself. See the following links:
