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

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.
