Events Workshop

Agenda & Content

The demand for advanced composite materials/structures in various industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive and civil engineering is increasing globally. Composite structures are highly efficient owing to their high stiffness-to-weight and high strength-to-weight ratios. In addition to the functional requirements, the structural design of composites encompasses knowledge of the mechanical behavior, processing aspects, testing and evaluation. The lecture focuses on developing a basic understanding in the following four topics:

Mechanics of Composite materials, Processing of Composite materials, Testing and Evaluation of composite materials, Design and Analysis of Composite structures.

Agenda & Content

Today CFD is being recognized greater than ever before as an enabler for better product design leading to better opportunities for the product designers. We, at infiDOF, are delighted to schedule three CFD workshops by Dr. Bijay Sultanian, an international CFD expert & trainer.

Towards ensuring better contributions of CFD practitioners, the key goals of these workshops are:

• 1. To develop strong physics-based & solution-robust CFD modeling capability for compressible flow with heat transfer
• 2. To develop an ability to interpret results from CFD simulations correctly for design applications
• 3. To develop skills to hand-calculate compressible flow results to perform sanity-checks of predictions
• 4. To improve engineering productivity with reduced design cycle time

Speaker

Dr. Bijay Sultanian is an international authority in gas turbine heat transfer, secondary air systems, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Dr. Sultanian is Founder & Managing Member of Takaniki Communications, LLC, (www.takaniki.com) a provider of high impact, web-based and live technical training programs for corporate engineering teams. Dr. Sultanian is also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Central Florida, where he has been teaching graduate-level courses in Turbomachinery and Fluid Mechanics since 2006. During his 30+ years in the gas turbine industry, Dr. Sultanian has worked in and led technical teams at a number of organizations, including Allison Gas Turbines (now Rolls-Royce), GE Aircraft Engines (now GE Aviation), GE Power Generation (now GE Power & Water), and Siemens Energy (now Siemens Power & Gas). He has developed several physics-based improvements to legacy heat transfer and fluid systems design methods, including new tools to analyze critical high-temperature components with and without rotation. He particularly enjoys training large engineering teams at prominent firms around the globe on cutting-edge technical concepts and engineering and project management best practices.
