Summary: Numerical modeling of fluid flow, or Computational Fluid Dynamics popularly called, is very important area of research with intensive growth (yearly few thousand articles are published throughout the world). It is multidisciplinary scientific field, that includes fluid mechanics, the equations of mathematical physics, numerical methods and computer application,all combined to produce computer packages for fluid flow modeling. The content of scientific research is creation of complex computor programmes for modeling, analysis and optimization of fluid flows in real engineering applications: turbomachinery flows (water and gas turbines, pumps, fans), coastal flows with the analysis of polution diffusion and compressible fluid flow in internal combustion engines. The research includes the physical analysis of given flow with the selection of the flow model, mathematical formulation of the problem, the choice of numerical method of solution, the algorythm and computer program for the fluid flow modeling. Computer program is divided in preprocessor, where the geometry of the flow, physical properties of the fluid and boundary and initial conditions are defined, main part of the programme, or solver, where the mathematical problem is solved via accepted numerical model ( Finite Element Method) and postprocessor for graphical presentation of calculated quantities .

Keywords: Computational fluid dynamics, fluid flows, numerical methods, finite element method, turbomachinery flows, hydrodynamics of costal waters, commpresible fluid flows, computer application in engineering.

Research goals: The goal of the proposed scientific research project is the creation of complex computer packages for fluid flow modeling and analysis in real industrial applications, such as turbomachinery flows: water and gas tubines, pumps, fans, compressors, coastal water flows with the polutant difussion and compressible fluid flow in the internal combustion engines. The use of such computer programs will enable modeling of the behaviour of such industrial plants and systems that have fluid flow as the basis of their technology, as well as system variation of most influential factors and , finaly, optimization of the whole system.
