A software training session was also conducted for the same.

Course Importance

This course will be useful for those who want to explore the domain of Thermal and Fluids Engineering. A lot of UG students end up taking this course because of the repetitive content so even if you are not a core enthusiast, it is recommended to do this course to complete your require MExxx electives. For Dual Degree students, this is course is a mandatory PG elective

Going Forward

Despite being a 6xx course this course is actually an introductory course on Fluid Dynamics with the content being similar to UG Fluid courses. This course is therefore a prerequisite to pursue another CFD, Multiphase flow or Heat transfer course
