The summer school provides all the basics of computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) for energy applications analysis. This
need arises from the ever-increasing central role that CFD
has reached in the R&D offices worldwide, being very often
used in a synergy with experimental and theoretical approaches.


The lectures will describe and discuss various aspects
related to CFD: the generation of the computational mesh
(generation methods, quality criteria and main open-source
software), physical modeling (turbulence models, multiphase
models) and numerical methods (finite volume method,
segregated/coupled methods, steady and unsteady problems).

The course will also deal with frontier topics, such as the
uncertainty quantification and shape optimization based on
genetic and adjoint methods.


During the summer school a Workshop will be organized, where
R&D offices of some companies operating in the energy field
will bring their experience in the use of CFD software
during the design.


The Summer School is sponsored by the University of Brescia
and promoted by the "Doctoral Research in Mechanical and
Industrial Engineering" (DRIMI) PhD course of the University
of Brescia. 


It is aimed at Academia (graduate and PhD students) and industry
