Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics Using MATLAB/Python

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the rapidly evolving science of numerically solving the equations of fluid motion to produce quantitative predictions and/or analyses of fluid flow phenomena. When used appropriately, CFD is often ideal for parametric studies or flow-physics investigations that would otherwise be impractical or impossible via entirely theoretical or experimental efforts. So, over the next few weeks we will explore different phenomenon using programming Languages such as MATLAB/Python.

Climate Change, Renewable Energy and Pollution Management

Climate change is one of the most challenging and debated topics of the 21st century. The concerns regarding global carbon dioxide, SOx, NOx and other greenhouse gas emissions and the impact that this has on the periodic climate patterns that exist is proving to be a great threat to continued sustenance of the human kind. Renewable energy production is free of these harmful emissions and is hence a promising solution to climate change. Solar energy and wind energy are already in heavy use in European countries and most other countries plan to follow the same path very soon.

Engineers dealing with Disasters

Disaster management plans are multi-layered and are planned to address issues such as floods, hurricanes, fires, mass failure of utilities, the rapid spread of disease and droughts. Post-disaster development cannot be sustained unless mitigation is built into the development process. The purpose is to make students better equipped with knowledge regarding disasters and how to not let disasters happen in their engineering field(disasters caused by engineers).
