About:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Jain College of Engineering, Belagavi, organized an orientation session on “OpenFOAM – Open-Source CFD Software” in association with FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, on 24th July 2026 for 7th Semester Mechanical Engineering students. The session introduced students to OpenFOAM and its capabilities in solving Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) problems across various engineering applications, including fluid flow, heat transfer, aerodynamics, and multiphase flow. It aimed to familiarize students with open-source simulation tools and their relevance to engineering analysis and design. The event coordinated by Vinayak Ratan.

Outcomes
1. Students gained an understanding of OpenFOAM and its role in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
2. Students became aware of the applications of CFD in fluid flow, heat transfer, aerodynamics, and multiphase flow.
3. Students understood the importance of open-source software in engineering simulation and analysis.
4. Students gained awareness of the use of CFD tools for solving practical engineering problems.
5. Students recognized the relevance of OpenFOAM in mechanical engineering projects, simulation-based design, and advanced technical learning.
