Abstract

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the useful design tool for engineers that requests strong knowledge of fluid mechanics and numerical skills. Learning by doing has significant impact on the success rate of this difficult subject. This paper presents a workshop developed for engineering degree where different scaled down projects is accomplished by students and peers evaluated. Students improve their understanding of the strong and weak points of the numerical models and gain an insight into the fluid dynamics processes learnt in the classroom. Beside, other transversal skills are developed such as critical thought and collaborative work.
