Basic Course on CFD

Very Essential for Newly Inducted Engineers in CFD

About the Workshop

CFD has become widely used and universally accepted procedure in many industry
sectors. In order to derive maximum benefit from the available technology, engineers
should learn much about the strength of numerical techniques. At the same time,
recommendations on how to avoid the inevitable pitfalls are invaluable.
This course offers excellent guidance on how to judge which approximations are
acceptable and appropriate for solving a wide range of practical problems. Of equal
importance is the manner in which the results are interpreted. Advice is provided which
allows the correct decisions to be taken, based on results which are known to be reliable.
Interaction is encouraged throughout the course. The course is completely code
independent.
Importance of Course for the Organisations using CFD The salient aspects of this
Course are:
? The course would be handled by very experienced industry exposed users of CFD.
? This course would offer vital guidance to judge which approximations are
acceptable for solving the practical problems.
Overall, this programme is designed to enhance the functional knowledge of young CFD
users in the practical application of CFD.
Who Should Attend?
This course is aimed at practicing engineers who wish to learn CFD and about how to
apply CFD techniques to their particular problems in the most effective manner. This
course addresses the needs of those industries wherein CFD jobs regularly carried out.
The contents of this programme are specially designed keeping the needs of junior and
middle level analysts who have to apply CFD for solving practical problems.
The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making
it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial CFD software systems.
The course is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS.
About the organizers
NAFEMS is the International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community and it
operates as an independent, not-for-profit association. The scope of its activities
encompasses all simulation technology, including Finite Element Analysis, Composite
and Computational Fluid Dynamics. As new application areas and techniques constantly
evolve, NAFEMS becomes involved to create awareness of new analysis methodologies,
deliver appropriate education and training, simulate the adoption of best practices and
effective use of technology by offering a platform for continuous professional
development. NAFEMS and its members are involved in the application of many different
types of engineering simulation covering both products and processes. Membership
exceeds 950 corporate members from over 32 different countries.
