The Internal Combustion Engine Group of Politecnico di Milano is pleased to announce the organization of the second edition of the

Two-day Meeting on Internal Combustion Engine Simulations Using OpenFOAM Technology


which will be held on 26-27 November 2015 in Milan at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano.

This event is dedicated to all the engineers and researchers using the OpenFOAM technology to simulate thermal and fluid-dynamic processes in internal combustion engines. Presentations from universities, research institutes and industries will address the state of the art, real applications and specific developments related to in-cylinder flows, fuel-air mixing, intake/exhaust systems (including also exhaust after-treatment and silencers).

Offer of presentation must be sent before October 1, 2015 by email to this address. Registration to attend the meeting can be done on the registration form page before October 15, 2015. Due to limited number of seats, early registration is encouraged.

You can find further details at the meeting webpage: http://www.engines.polimi.it/2day/index.php.
