Course Schedule: October 10 to November 30, 2023

 (16 sessions x 90 min, 8 Weeks, Tuesdays & Thursdays, 16:00-17:30, Berlin Time Zone)

Basic Material & Energy Balance, Fluid Dynamics, Heat & Mass Transfer towards Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation Approaches and Algorithms

For all engineers, experts and students in different fields of science and technology to apply CFD simulations for scientific and industrial career developments.

Extended Registration Deadline: 5 October, later registration will be considered in waiting list for the current course or early bird registration for the 2nd group organizing in January and February 2024.

About the course:

World-Academies, the Knowledge Management Startup for Remote Training and Research (RTR) collaborations, based at Technical University of Dresden in Germany, is going to organize online course “Practical CFD Simulation with OpenFoam,  & CFD Platforms” such as SimScale from October 10 to November 30, 2023. The course is designed to be presented within 16 sessions x 90 min, (8 Weeks, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 16:00-17:30, Berlin Time Zone), covering subjects from basic concepts of material and energy balance, fluid dynamics, mass & heat transfer and Navier-Stokes Equations towards computational solution algorithms and CFD simulations using OpenFoam and CFD Software.  The participants will be supported for one-year Academic License of SimScale.  The selected participants can work with World-Academies and partners as RTR collaborators on related CFD projects.

    1. You paid 150 euros on September 21, 2023 at 12:29 p.m. I’m sorry you didn’t receive a confirmation, but everything is fine. no worries.The course is online, but it is possible to watch the recorded videos later and they are available in the WAC for a long time.

        1. Dear Kunal, thanks for your message, the World-Academies (WAC) registration section replied you already with the details of the CFD course agenda, and zoom meeting links. Let us know if you received it. However the registered participants are member of the WAC working group on CFD course with full access to the recorded video of the lectures after each session for 6 months.

  1. Hi I registered for the course a in late September and received payment confirmation but there were no emails about the course links our material. Is there anything wrong with my registration??

  2. Hello. I hope this message finds you well. I have a problem with payment method. As I don’t have Paypal account I have to pay with credit card. However, the payment page did not transfer me to the payment method via credit card.
