Course detail

Computational Simulations for Heat and Power Production

FSI-LSE Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester

The content of the course is to introduce students to the basic principles of mathematical modeling and simulation (CFD and FEM) by overviewing the underlaying principles and working with specialized software. Attention is focused on heat transfer and fluid flow.

There will also be a presentation of a software for energy balances in the energy sector as part of the course
