               Each day will be comprised of approximately 4 hours of   
               lectures and 3 hours of hands-on sessions.               
               General knowledge of CFD (finite volume method,          
 Prerequisites discretization schemes etc.) is recommended. Programming 
               skills in C++ are beneficial, but not essential for      
               partaking in this course.
