Date: July 02 to 06, 2013
Organized by
Department of Applied Mechanics
Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad
Allahabad- 211004, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Themes and Lecture Topics:
o Introduction to CFD, FVM, FEM.
o Geometry and Grid Generation
o Governing transport equations and Boundary Conditions.
o Diffusion/Conduction Problems.
o Convection-Diffusion Problems.
o Pressure Velocity Coupling.	
o Unsteady/Transient problems.

o Some Practical Applications to CFD Modeling.
o Industrial Visit to BPCL Naini, Allahabad.

Scope of the Programme: 
CFD is considered as a cutting-edge tool for the 
computational simulation ranging from the movement of 
microorganisms to the weather prediction. The leading 
manufactures, like automotive, aerospace, naval and other 
sectors frequently use this technique for the building of 
prototype and product development.

Facilities at MNNIT Allahabad: 
Department of Applied Mechanics has a state-of-the art CFD 
laboratory, which houses 14 high performance workstations 
(HP Z series) followed by 50 desktop computers of latest 
configurations installed with CFD software. The Fluid 
Dynamics research group of the department is actively 
engaged in the teaching and research in the diversified 
fields in CFD at M.Tech. and Ph.D. levels. Current research 
interest of the group includes some the frontier areas like 
aerospace, bio-fluid dynamics, vehicle aerodynamics, flow 
control, thermo fluid dynamics, and turbomachines with 
active participation of students and professionals across 
academia and industries.    

Eligibility Criteria to attend the STTP: 
Faculty members to any government/private engineering/ 
technical institutions with relevant background and CFD as 
an area of interest are eligible for this course. However, 
post-graduate students/Research scholars/fellows with an 
ambition to pursue teaching/research as a career are also 
welcome. The external participants are limited to thirty and 
will be selected on first come first serve basis.

Registration Fees: 
Rs. 2000 for outstation participants. Registration fee 
includes registration kit, course materials, tea and working 
lunch for all five days of course. The registration fee does 
not include the accommodation, breakfast and dinner charges.  
No T.A., D.A. will be paid to the participants.
Registration fee can be sent in form of demand draft (D.D.) 
generated by any nationalized bank in favour of Director, 
MNNIT Allahabad payable at Allahabad. For outstation D.D.,

Fooding and Lodging: 
The institute offers accommodation and dining facilities on 
payment basis at the Executive Development Centre (EDC), 
which is located in the MNNIT staff colony.  It houses 20 
A.C. and 04 Non A.C. rooms and dining hall. Accommodation 
will be provided first-come-first-serve basis and depending 
on the availability. 

Venue: 
Seminar Room & Computational Laboratory, Department of 
Applied Mechanics, MNNIT Allahabad.
