COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

A Centre of Excellence for Computational Fluid Dynamics (COE-CFD) has emerged as an important tool capable of giving designers valuable insights into the behaviour of fluid flow in complex geometries. With advanced software and manned by technically capable and trained personnel, the COE-CFD will cater to a wide variety of products of the power and industrial sectors. It is equipped with high performance computing (HPC) cluster with 32 CPU IBM Power 4+, 64 bit processor on Gigabit LAN, 64 GB RAM, 2.4 TB internal storage with additional external NAS of 1 TB with back-up server and LTO tape library, and 40 high-end workstations as network client/networked peripherals. The COE-CFD will also promote the discipline of CFD by organizing seminars, training programmes and interaction with experts in the field.

CFD, as an engineering tool for simulating viscous 3-D flows in various machines, is gaining wide acceptance among the designers of power plant and industrial equipment. Availability of well established CFD codes, pre and post processors and powerful computing systems has further enhanced the utility of CFD tools.
