Sumario:The present document is a study about the computational resolution of the fluid dynamics governing equations(CFD). Different cases are simulated thus reinforcing the knowledge about this topic from an academicstandpoint.The addressed cases are basically about theNavier-Stokesequations. These are solved computationallyusing codes implemented by the student in the C++ programming language.Matlabsoftware is only usedfor the postprocess of the results obtained from the simulations.The codes are finally verified comparing the results from the simulations with the scientific articles fromthe literature. Appropriate conclusions are drawn from each one
