  • CANTERA
  • PYTHON
  • COMBUSTION

Introduction

Why did I decide to pursue a Master's Certification Course in CFD? Having 5 years of experience in the field of execution related to Refrigeration and Air Conditioning which involves fluid flow(chilled water, ammonia, airflow) through its system for industrial as well as residential use prompted me to study more about flow velocity, density, thermal impact and chemical concentrations for any region where the flow occurs. Computational fluid dynamics play an important role in optimizing the HVAC design system, fluid flows can be simulated and HVAC performance can be analyzed without actually installing the systems. Thus it saves a lot of time and energy during project execution and the project can be handed over to the client within the prescribed time limit.
