Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is extensively being used
in academia and industry for research, development and
design activities. CFD enables cost effective analysis of
competing designs of flow handling systems in an accurate
and timely manner, if used properly. The key stages in the
simulation involve flow geometry creation, mesh generation,
problem setup, running the simulation and post-processing.
All the above stages are very important for an accurate and
effective implementation of simulation strategy for optimum
benefits. During this course, training will be provided to
the participants on the effective use of Open Source CFD
software for research, development and design activities in
all areas of Engineering.
