CFD studio: An educational software package for CFD analysis and design
This paper presents the general characteristics of the educational user-friendly "CFD Studio" package designed for teaching fluid mechanics and heat transfer process, including conduction, coupled conduction/convection, natural and forced convection, external and internal flows. Therefore, general aspects of the three main modules-preprocessor, solver, and post-processor-are discussed aiming to show the generality of the tool. These modules are integrated in the application by a so-called ''numerical problem project" to guide the student through the steps to obtain the solution. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
