Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Practical Training 2017
For critical thinking engineers only, this is 99% practical based oriented training tactic. It is more of research work, 25% (facilitators/trainers/participants) class work, 50% (participants) projects effort/researches work, 25% facilitators’ assistant on participants’ projects tasks. Facilitators/trainers will be on ground to support the participants in achieving the objectives of training projects tasks.
Participants are expected to acquaint themselves with the designated terms depending on their domain(s) of interest:
Numerical analysis, optimization, thermodynamics, transport phenomenon, chemical kinetics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, combustions, multiphase, 3D modeling, programming language (C++), MatLab e.t.c.
Coarse Goals:
Participants will learn how to solve the Navier-Stokes and others equations for engineering problems using both customized codes and a commercial code where necessary.
