We are glad to inform you that Department of Biomedical
Engineering, NEHU, Shillong is going to organize a short
term course on Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineering
Applications using Open Foam and FLUENT (CFDEA-2018) from
6th to 10th of August 2018. The short term course is aimed
to sensitize and generate interest in Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) which is extensively being used in academia
and industry for research, development and design
activities.

Description:

 

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. 

TOPICS 

 Installation of Open Source CAD package, Installation of 

windows based Open Source CFD package, Installation of Open 

Source post-processing package 

 Geometry creation using Open Source CAD package 

 Mesh generation and details 

 Field initialisation and boundary conditions 

 Selection of appropriate turbulence model 

 Solver and material settings 

 Solution monitoring and control 

 Visualisation of field parameters 

 Creating animations 

 Tutorials on Oil and Gas pipelines, Turbo-machinery 

 Tutorials on Vehicle Aerodynamics 

 Tutorials on Heat Exchangers and on Control Valves 

 Tutorials on Ventricular Assistive Devices, Stents fault 

analysis, Blood Flow Dynamics and much more. 

PREREQUISITES 

The course duration is 5 days, starting at 10:00Hrs and 

finishing at 17:00 Hrs (local time) each day. No prior 

knowledge of Open Source CFD is required; however basic 

knowledge of fluids dynamics is required. Participants are 

requested to bring Laptops for software installation and 

assignments.
