Objective:  Simulate the flow over a cylinder : Calculate the baseline case Reynolds number.  Re = rho*U_inlet*D/mu D = cylinder diameter mu = dynamic viscosity rho = density Run a baseline simulation and then calculate the Reynolds number. Then increase the Reynolds number by a factor of 20%, 40%, and 100% then…

Objective:  Design a Centrifugal Pump (CF Pump) and run flow simulation through it. Obtain the relationship between Pressure and Mass flow rate and explain the result. Procedure: The Impeller was designed using a blueprint from the internet but the casing was designed using approximations. Images for the same are…

Objective: Write a program to simulate the transient behavior of a simple pendulum and to create an animation of its motion.Procedure:  The governing principle behind the simple movement of a pendulum can be broken down mathematically using a simple Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). The ODE is given below…

Genetic algorithm (GA):A genetic algorithm (GA) is a method for solving both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems based on a natural selection process that mimics biological evolution. The algorithm repeatedly modifies a population of individual solutions. At each step, the genetic algorithm randomly selects…
