Subject & Code : Computational Fluid Dynamics / 15ME651 Sec : A/B/C
Name of faculty : Dr. Subrahmanya S Katte Time : 90 Mins
Note: Answer FIVE full questions, selecting any ONE full question from each part. Marks
PART 1
1 Discuss the need for CFD and its role in research and development. 8

2 With necessary equations, discuss the classification of partial differential equations. 8

PART 2
3 Using the physical approach, derive the material or substantial derivative. Discuss 8
its physical significance.
4 State and explain continuity equation, momentum equations and energy equation 8
for a two-dimensional, steady flow.
PART 3
5 Derive forward, backward and central differences for the first derivative using 8
Taylor series.
6 Using Taylor series derive (i) central difference for second derivative, and (ii) 8
second order accurate backward difference for first derivative
PART 4
7 Prove that the second order finite difference scheme for one-dimensional, steady 8
convection-diffusion problem leads to a physically unrealistic solution. What is the
remedy?
8 Derive an expression for false-diffusion for one-dimensional, steady convection- 8
diffusion equation and show that the cell Peclet number should be less than 0.62 for
accuracy
PART 5
9 A slab is divided into three number of divisions so that the grid size is the same in 8
both directions. One edge is maintained at 100 °C, where as the remaining three
edges are maintained at 0 °C. Derive the nodal equations for all interior nodes.
Using Gauss-Seidel iterations, calculate the steady state temperatures for all
intermediate nodes.
10 For a one-dimensional, steady convection-diffusion problem, the upstream end is 8
maintained at 0 °C wile the downstream end is maintained at 100 °C. Formulate the
problem using upwind scheme and derive the nodal equations for all intermediate
nodes. Solve the resultant equations using Tri-Diagonal Matrix Algorithm and
calculate the temperatures.
