Project Summary

The purpose of the MSc Programme in Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics (APPLY) is to train and educate aspiring engineers, R&D specialists and future industry managers in the cutting-edge field of applied Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The APPLY objectives include• training of the academic staff, exchange of know-how and good practices,• modernization of the educational process using ICT and e-learning,• establishing viable synergies with the industry through joint activities and internship placements,• promoting “hands on” training and research via the establishment of APPLY CFD labs, • contributing to the local economic growth by providing domain-specific educational courses.The design of the APPLY MSc courses is conceptually innovative as it follows a practical and application-orientated approach to CFD, by initially focusing on targeted core subjects, which are necessary for the understanding of the fundamental principles of CFD, and then expanding outwards to meet the needs of different engineering disciplines. This agile structure allows for the maximum exploitation of CFD as an engineering tool, without reducing the academic nature of the educational programmes. The project is envisaged to have major impact in multiple directions, by: • training graduates who intend to work in the aerospace and automotive industries, in the energy sector or practice environmental engineering,•supporting the academicians, managers and scientific staff at the partner institutions, who will gain experiences of collaborative activities, cultures exchange and direct knowledge on the design and the development of educational programmes, • aiding the internationalization of the HEIs and providing a fertile ground for cooperation with other institutions • providing the industries and technology companies that are related to CFD access to a pool of skilled engineers, ready to engage in R&D and innovation.
