OBJECTIVES

The objective of the workshop is to provide the state-of-art knowledge of varieties of experimental as well as computational techniques, pertinent in the field of fluid mechanics and heat transfer to persons from academia/industry; and make them familiar with the recent trends in flow visualization in an international perspective.

WORKSHOP STRUCTURE

The workshop will consist of a series of key note and specialized lectures by eminent faculties, and scientists from academia as well as industries. The lectures will be supported by demonstration of available optical techniques like PIV and LCT for flow as well as temperature visualization at aerodynamics and solar energy laboratories, MIED, IIT Roorkee.

COURSE CONTENTS/THEMES

On completion of this module the participants will be able to:
* Understand different experimental and numerical techniques of flow visualization;
* Familiarize with the modern state of-the-art experimental tools and its application to engineering problems;
Special emphasis will be paid in relation to developing the understanding about principles of PIV and LCTwith on-hand laboratory experience.

PARTICIPANTS

Anybody who has paid attention to the patterns while stirring milk into coffee or stared at the curl of a rising tendril of smoke, has participated in flow visualization, and will understand the purpose of this workshop.The course is intended for faculties from engineering institutes, engineers and professionals working in the area of fluid flow and heat transfer across the different branches of engineering. The number of seats is limited to 50 participants. The registration shall be done on the first come first serve basis. Selected participant may be paid TA as per the availability of funds. Each participant will be given a certificate of attending the workshop. Tour for participants is planned to the city Haridwar/ Rishikesh/Muss orie orAgra on payment basis.
