Lectures will be taken in class room with the aid of multi-media presentations / black
board or mix of both.
Subject Seminar be given in practical classes and same be defended by the students
In the lectures and laboratory discipline and behavior will be observed strictly.
Student
Learning
Outcomes /
objectives:
At the end of the course the students appreciate that CFD provide a valuable resource tool
in the field computational techniques that can be used for solving engineering problems.
The primary objective of this Subject, simply put, is for students to learn to use commercial
computational fluid dynamics software to simulate and analyze a wide range of fluid flows.
Students can focus on development of software to analysis the fluid flows for R & D also
Develop a student's ability for result presentations and data visualization of engineering
problems.
