A four-day training course on immersed boundary method will be provided by Numersolution, LLC, Cincinnati, Ohio ( www.numersolution.com/Sale/sale.html ). This hands-on training features solid body tracking or representation using the level set method and a detailed introduction of a few popular implementations of immersed boundary method. The coding practice is included in the training to facilitate the participant’s understanding of the covered methods.

Training Dates: January 17-20, 2017; February 7-10, 2017

About Course Instructor:

Dr. Guangfa Yao graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1996 with a Ph.D in mechanical engineering, focusing on computational thermal and fluid fields. After graduation, he worked as a research engineer at Georgia Tech and as a CFD developer at Flow Science, Inc., the provider of the commercial CFD package FLOW-3D. Most recently, he spent ten years at GE Aviation as an aircraft engine engineer. At GE Aviation, he was a thermal design model owner of compressor and coupled turbine in F-136 engine and CDN/HPT case in LEAP-X engine. He also led teams in maintaining and developing GE Aviation in-house aero design codes and was the owner and developer of a few of them. Currently, he is an independent consultant specializing in computational modeling and design applied to various industrial fields, and technical training in traditional and emerging numerical techniques.
