The idea of a Summer School is to gather 5-10 students and OpenFOAM users each with their own project at the University of Zagreb, where they would receive help on numerical modelling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and in particular OpenFOAM.

The new competitive academic licensing options, which includes 20 floating licenses of Harpoon, will support University Lecturers in explaining CFD. Harpoon is so easy to use that students can jump straight into the physics of the problem without having to spend weeks learning a package. This combined with extreme speed means that researchers and lecturers can mesh complex geometries in real time.

Due to the large response to the initial announcement, Flomerics has announced that it will provide all 3 versions of EFD at $380 for a 3-year license to universities and technology colleges around the world.

Flomerics’ EFD for Education Initiative aims to ensure that mechanical engineering students and researchers have access to the latest fluid dynamics software used in industry.

The course will be held at the College of Engineering, Pune for 6 weeks (2 hours per day, 6 days per week) starting August 28, 2006. The course will be conducted by faculty with Ph. D. and Masters degrees from IIT with more than 10 years experience in industrial CFD and consulting.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has grown from a mathematical curiosity to become an essential tool in almost every branch of fluid dynamics, from aerospace propulsion to weather prediction. In design and development, CFD programs are now considered to be standard numerical tools, widely utilised within industry.
