Ratings and Reviews
Dr Chinedu The course is good, especially the explanation of the physics of fluid. But the mathematics is not as thorough as I would like it to connect to the physics. However, one thing I must recommend is to include a thoroughly written lecture notes. This will make things easier. Watching and re-watching video can be a pain and boring. Lecture notes are easier for later referencing.
Amol really good course to revisit fluid mechanics basics , it also act as bridge between FM and CFD
VENKATA ANVESH CHELLURI all the topics are very understandable and clearly explained, which we can apply directly in execution
Joydeb Mukherjee This course is very fundamental and well-defined
Rohit Great lectures , the points were very clear and easy to understand for strong fundamentals to proceed for CFD
Vipul Every basic thing we need to know beforehand to pursue the experimental work regarding computational fluid dynamics is explained. The fundamentals and way they've been explained and taught are terrific.
Yves I find it interesting to have written assignments that require you to look up information on how to solve the equations for those assignments.
Mario I enjoyed very much the course; even with a fully work day the presenter and the content motivated me to follow and completed with great interest
Unknown Member The course is very well designed which covers the topics from very basics and very help to grasp the core of the Subject.
Concepts are presented in a very clear and practical way, with clear connections to CFD as well as practical industrial applications of concepts. I definitely recommend this course.
