- Last date for early bird registration : 04-08-2004
- Last date for final registration : 16-08-2004
- Workshop and Training : 23-08-2004 to 27-08-2004
Computer Aided Design (CAD) has
already revolutionized engineering techniques,
taking advantage of the speed & power of computers.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is fast establishing
itself as an important part of the modern toolkit
for engineers whose work involves the study of
fluid, heat and mass transfer processes. To foster
the usage and generate expertise in this area,
the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing
(C-DAC), Pune and the IITZeus group of the Indian
Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB), is jointly
organizing a five-day workshop and training programme
on CFD.

Closed
|
| Workshop
& Training |
The workshop will cover expert
lectures on the fundamental aspects of Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD), e.g., grid generation techniques,
boundary layer, turbulence modeling, multiphase
flow, conjugate heat transfer, numerical discretization
schemes and solution methods. The lectures will
also highlight the application aspects of CFD
in industries and environmental & water resource
engineering.
The training will involve hands
on sessions on CFDTutorTM and CFDExpertTM (Developed by the IITZeus group, IITB, Bombay)
and PHOENICS (Parabolic, Hyperbolic Or Elliptic
Numerical Integration Code Series, a general-purpose
flow simulation software developed by CHAM, UK
). PHOENICS has a variety of applications in fluid
flow, heat transfer, combustion and chemical reaction
processes in an engineering equipment. Tutorial
cases will cover basic CFD problem set-up, geometry
generation, grid generation in cartesian, polar
and body fitted co-ordinates, grid refinement,
boundary conditions, steady and transient cases,
convergence and so on. The tutorials will be introductory
in nature.

Organizations,
not having the PHOENICS CFD software can get a
complimentary one-month license of PHOENICS for
evaluation, provided at least one delegate from
that organization attends the training programme
so that they can make better use of PHOENICS CFD
software.

| 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),
stresses 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,
Metallurgical, Nuclear, Power, Petroleum, Marine,
etc.
B. Environmental
Applications: Atmospheric pollution, Pollution
of natural water, Safety, Fire spread and so on
C. Architecture
and Building Science
|
| Advantages
of CFD Analysis |
The ability to
simulate the flow characteristics of a new product
or process improves the 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 cost and
timescale 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 least cost and so on...
