Details
This two-year graduate program in M.Tech. in Computational Fluid Dynamics is designed to impart modern tools and techniques for the numerical simulation of complex mechanical systems including Fluid Dynamics, Structural Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials.
In Computational Mechanics, the governing partial differential equations and constitutive relations are solved numerically using high-speed digital computers to gain meaningful insights into the thermo-fluidic structure of mechanical systems. The M. Tech. in Computational Fluid Dynamics curriculum includes advanced courses on fluid and structural mechanics, basic and advanced courses on numerical algorithms for fluid mechanics and structural dynamics, hands-on software and coding exercises and a one-year thesis. In addition to Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics is used as a research and design tool in all fields of engineering involving fluid flows, structural dynamics, and multidisciplinary optimisation.
Duration
2 Years (4 Semesters)
DESIGN YOUR OWN DEGREE
UPES’ curriculum framework is holistic in its overall structure and yet focuses on the individual need of the student to discover, experience, explore and challenge. Along with the core subject, students have the option to choose from subject-focused specialisations. They are also allowed to choose minor/exploratory subject from other schools at UPES that are: School of Engineering, School of Computer Science, School of Law, School of Business, School of Health Sciences, School of Design, School of Modern Media, and School of Liberal Studies.
Further, based on the multifaceted needs of the global workplace and evolving lifestyles, the curriculum offers Signature and Life-Skills courses through School for Life. To round off this learning experience, students are required to do mandatory internships in the social sector, government/public sector, and industry. The combinations available for students to pick and choose from are endless, ensuring both depth and width of knowledge.
