An Overview of Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer and Fluid Flow Conservation Form of Governing Differential Equations Classification of PDEs Basic Discretization Techniques An Overview of FEM, FDM, and FVM Control Volume Formulation for Diffusion Type Problems Solution of Systems of Discretized Equations Formulation of Convection-diffusion Problems Solution of Fluid Flow Equations Formulation of Mathematical Model and Numerical Solution of Blood flow through arteries, Drug delivery, Phase Change Problems in Laser-tissue Interaction, Cryosurgery of a Tumor and Cryopreservation of a Cell, Flow Through Porous Medium, Oxygen Transport in Skeletal Muscle, Solute Transport in Biological Systems.

Equip students with the knowledge base essential for application of computational fluid dynamics to engineering flow problems

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Describe the major theories, approaches, and methodologies used in CFD
2. Apply CFD methods (e.g. boundary conditions, turbulence modelling etc.) and describe the limitations on accuracy
3. Apply CFD analysis to real biomedical engineering problems
