This workshop is ideal for practicing engineers, faculty
and research students who have basic background in either
fluid dynamics or numerical methods and wish to use CFD
to solve real life/research problems. The workshop is
designed to make the participants learn from basics of
CFD to the use of opensource CFD to a variety of real
life problems.
Description:
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a tool being
extensively used in research as well as in the industry
for solving complex fluid flow and heat transfer
problems. Simultaneous development of high performance
computing (HPC) technology, numerical algorithms,
physical and chemical models of flow physics, etc. are
responsible for the big impact of CFD in solving both
basic and applied scientific and engineering problems. In
recent past, CFD has developed into a rich and diverse
subject and has emerged as a major component of applied
and basic fluid dynamic research along with theoretical
and experimental studies. The use of CFD based simulation
ranges from the analysis of the movement of
microorganisms to the weather prediction. The leading
manufactures, like automotive, aerospace, naval sectors
frequently use this technique for the building of
prototype and product development.The importance of CFD
is continuously growing with time with the increasing
capabilities of CFD and its applications. Recently, open
source simulations software attracted so much attention
because it is free of cost and flexible. However, using
Open source CFD requires additional skill sets. The
purpose of present workshop is to introduce the
participants with CFD fundamentals, open source CFD and
its advantages and limitation along with its use for
solving a variety of problems.
