aim - CFD program will be executed in three stages.

This stage starts with presentations at various engineering colleges. In this presentation, CFD will be introduced to engineering students. The outline of presentation is :

	“Know How ?” of CFD : CFD Fundamentals
	Applications of CFD in various engineering streams like Mechanical, Automobile, Chemical, Aerospace, Civil
	Career opportunities in CFD for engineering students
	Interaction with working professionals
	What can be done at graduate/post-graduate level?

Presentation focusing on above topics will be delivered at various engineering institutes who wish to participate in aim - CFD program.

Once CFD is introduced to students, those who wish to participate and get training through aim - CFD program will from a group of 4-5 students. The groups which will be shortlisted by aim - CFD coordinator will participate in Stage II and Stage III of aim - CFD program.

An individual from bachelor/ master course can also enroll in this program.

The best time to execute Stage I of aim - CFD program is 3rd Year (5th or 6th semester) for bachelor program and 2nd semester for master program.

Main aim of this stage is to give introductory training on CFD to students. In this stage, the selected groups from various engineering institutes will undergo three days training on CFD. Following topics will be covered in this training :

	Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer
	Fundamentals of CFD
	Numerical Methods in CFD
	Applications of CFD in various engineering domains

Along with students, project guide can also participate in this program. This will introduce CFD to professors/lecturers, which intern will be beneficial for there research/PhD work and while guiding the students during projects.

At the end of this stage, seminars will be assigned to students. These seminars will help students to learn CFD fundamentals in coming semester.

Continuous assessment and guidance will be provided throughout the semester.

The best time to execute Stage II of aim - CFD program is just before starting of 7th semester for bachelor program and 3rd semester for master program.

Aim of Stage III is to introduce CFD software to students. This stage will start with six days of training on commercial CFD software. Following topics will be covered in the training

	CFD fundamental training
	Training on one pre-processing tool : GAMBIT/ICEM-CFD/Star CCM+
	Training on one solver : ANSYS FLUENT/ANSYS CFX/Star CCM+

Along with training on CFD software, the industry specific training will also be given. At the end of six days training, a final project topic will be assigned after discussion with students and their project guide. Students will execute the assigned project during their final semester of engineering.

Continuous assessment and guidance will be provided to students during their project execution.

The best time to execute Stage III of aim - CFD program is just before starting of 8th semester for bachelor program and 7th semester for master program.
