Content summary
All those CFD enthusiasts out there.. Lets start a new CFD course which will meet every requirement that has to be met...

Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) Applications

 * Automotive Drag for Fuel Efficient Design
 * Fire Modeling and Prediction
 * Atmospheric Modeling (Weather/Climate Change Prediction)

Texts

 * Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
 * Lectures on Computational Fluid Dynamics

Lesson 1
EXAMPLE For a source contaminant concentration $$\ C_0$$ entering a flow of velocity $$ \vec U $$ at a distance $$\ x $$ upstream from a point, the downstream concentration $$\ C $$ at that point is determined by the ratio...

$$ \frac{C}{C_0} = e^{\frac{x*\vec U}{D}} $$

Where... $$\ D $$ is the local dispersion coefficient determined by $$\ D = 0.067 * depth * V_f$$

and where friction velocity is $$V_f = \sqrt{g*depth*ChannelSlope}$$
