Design and operation of modern engines in particular, gas turbine & ICE, faces the need to combine high efficiency, reliability, with low pollutants emissions. This course addresses the subject in the perspective of Computational Fluid Dynamics which has become a powerful tool in design and analysis of modern engines from land based and marine, to aero-engines.

This course aims to introduce the essential principles of fluid dynamics, important flow phenomena, and basics of Computational Fluid Dynamics process to structural engineers and how CFD can be beneficial for their multidisciplinary problems.

Gas turbine engines used for aircraft propulsion and energy production operate under extremely harsh conditions. And they don’t get breaks as they are often in continuous service for decades. The market pressure to improve performance, emissions and durability has increased exponentially over the last few years. Engine makers are faced with increasing system complexity from their customers, ever more stringent emission standards, and more financial risks when engines are out of service.

In this presentation from the FloTHERM Product Manager, the benefits of the new features in FloTHERM v12 will be described and demonstrated. New functionality includes a new and improved Command Center and we will go through many of these new features to show how you can use them to increase your productivity.

The seminar is devoted to development and implementation of numerical methods for continuum mechanics problems, application of open-source codes for industrial cases, parallel computing and big data analysis technologies.

This year’s keynote address will be delivered by Professor Edward Furlani, University at Buffalo, Suny.
