ProfessorMaarten van Reeuwijk

I teach several modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate level:

CIVE40008 Fluid Mechanics I
An introductory fluid mechanics module for year 1 undergraduates where I teach 20 hours on the fundamentals of fluid motion: hydrostatics, mass conservation and momentum conservation. In the spring term Prof. Graham Hughes teaches energy conservation followed by applications to pipe flow and open channel flows.

CIVE60002 Computational Engineering Analysis
A third year undergraduate module on numerical methods where I contribute 15 hours to teach on the numerical solution of advection-diffusion equations. This is a flipped classroom module, and we spend most time working on real problems in the computer labs.

CIVE70075 Transport Processes
An MSc module on the transport of contaminants and sediment through the atmosphere, rivers, seas and oceans. I teach 12 hours on the fundamentals advection-diffusion problems. The focus is on physical understanding and creating mathematical models of real-world problems using analytical approaches. The second part is taught by Dr Daniel Valero who focuses on sediment transport.

CIVE70079 Computational Analysis
An in-depth MSc module that covers numerical methods for engineers. I contribute 15 hours, starting with numerical differentiation and integration, and then moving on to the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (both boundary value problems and initial value problems), and advection-diffusion equations. Dr John Craske takes over after this, covering PDEs in two spatial dimensions and ultimately ending up at the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.

CIVE70083 Urban Fluid Mechanics
An MSc module that covers a wide range of fluid mechanics phenomena in urban environments. I cover urban morphology, wind engineering (e.g. forces on buildings), air quality and urban microclimate, including the urban heat island effect. After this, Dr Henry Burridge takes over to discuss the intricacies of indoor flows.

I also run design projects and supervise about five MEng and MSc projects per year.
