Following the success of last year's EPSRC-sponsored Summer School in Industrial CFD, we are running the course again in late June (19th-13rd) this year on our main campus in Nottingham.

The objective of the Summer School is to address the needs identified in the EPSRC call for summer schools on “Mathematics for Engineers” through the continuation of the provision of a novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) course.

This course will provide understanding of the mathematical foundation and focus on a detailed overview of the physical models necessary for research in Chemical, Civil and Environmental and Mechanical Engineering amongst other fields of engineering and science.

The course will prepare future users of CFD to make the best possible usage of the available technology through an emphasis on fluid mechanics and potential applications of the constitutive models as well as the understanding of the mathematical foundations. In essence this is a course destined to people for whom CFD is an important tool to be used in their work or research, but not necessarily the object of their research.

Two thirds of the course will be lecture based, and the remaining third will be “hands-on” practicals using popular commercial CFD codes.

Places on the course are limited, therefore if you are interested, you can phone the course secretary, Sue Muggridge on 0115 951 3640 or email her, sue.muggridge@nottingham.ac.uk, for more details. A flyer and registration document is also available on our website at www.nottingham.ac.uk/cfd.
