Workshop & Training Programme

on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

December 11-15, 2006

at C-DAC, Pune, India

Know Us

C-DAC Established in March 1988 as a scientific society of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India, Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, is primarily an R&D institution involved in the design, development and deployment of electronics and advanced Information Technology (IT) products and solutions. C-DAC's foray in the area of supercomputing based CFD applications has a manifesto to develop port and optimize codes on parallel computers.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an engineering tool to simulate a range of processes involving fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and combustion within engineering equipment and the environment. To foster the usage and generate expertise in this area, Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) Pune is organizing a 5 day intensive training programme on CFD simulation during December 11-15, 2006.

TRAINING PROGRAMME
The programme will cover theoretical and practical aspect of CFD. It also includes hands on sessions using PHOENICS (Parabolic Hyperbolic or Elliptic Numerical Integration Code Series, a general purpose CFD software developed by CHAM, UK).

FACULTY
Dr Jeremy Z Wu, CHAM,UK

Profile: DR Jeremy Wu, Technical Director, Concentration, Heat and Momentum Ltd., UK, has obtained his Ph.D in the area of combustion from the Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London under the supervision of Prof. Brian Spalding, whose team has developed the PHOENICS CFD software. He has working experience of more than 20 years in the area of CFD. He has worked on various CFD consultancy projects.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The programme is intended for researchers from R&D organizations, Design Engineers from Industries, Faculty and Students from Academic Institutes with an interest in undertaking projects in CFD.

Industrial Applications of CFD

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used extensively for predicting the behaviour of fluid flow coupled with heat transfer, mass transfer, phase change, chemical reaction (e.g., combustion, rusting), mechanical movement (e.g., of pistons, fans), stress in displacement of immersed or surrounding solids and so on. It has a wide range of applications in industries, for example:

A.
Engineering and Process Applications  
 Aerospace, Automotive Chemical and Process, Combustion, Electronics, Mechanical, Metallurgical, Nuclear, Power, Petroleum, Marine 
B.
Environmental Applications 
 Atmospheric pollution, Pollution of natural waters, Safety, Fire spread 
C.
Architecture and building science 

 

Advantages of CFD Analysis

The ability to simulate the flow characteristics of a new product or process improves understanding of fluid behaviour and drastically reduces the time of prototype production and testing, leading to a successful design. The use of CFD helps:

  • Product designers to optimize the product design, reduce costs and time scales for product research & development
  • Researchers to get an accurate insight into fluid behaviour and collect data which cannot be gained from experiments
  • Chemical engineers to maximize the yields from their reactors and processing equipment
  • Power-plant designers to attain maximum efficiency, and reduce release of pollutants
  • Land, air and marine vehicle designers to achieve maximum performance at the least cost and so on
NOTE
  • Please make the Demand Draft (DD) in favour of "Centre for Development of Advanced Computing" payable at Pune
