Days 4 and 5 (all staff)

Morning and afternoon sessions will be hands-on, with the support of a professor.

Each student will choose a project, such as:

-Write a spectroconsistent CFD solver (or part of it).
-Set up a simulation of his/her interest and run it.

Examples of applications include aerodynamic flows, heat transfer, solar energy, fluidic actuators, etc.
