Program Structure

Our mentorship and internship program is designed to take you from fundamentals to industry readiness through a structured multi-stage learning path.

STAGE 1: BASICS

  • A strong foundation is essential to becoming a successful CFD Engineer.
  • This stage revisits key topics such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, mathematics, and programming skills.

STAGE 2 – PART 1: CFD FUNDAMENTALS

  • Introduction to CFD fundamentals and basic CFD code development.
  • Scientific computing with Python: extend it to code CFD problems.
  • Hands-on experience with both commercial and open-source CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent, CFX, and OpenFOAM.

STAGE 2 – PART 2: ADVANCED CFD TOOLS

  • Advanced-level training on commercial and open-source CFD tools (Fluent, CFX, and OpenFOAM).
  • Work on advanced topics such as UDF development, automation and scripting, and OpenFOAM solver customization.
  • Undertake several mini-projects to strengthen problem-solving and simulation skills.

STAGE 3: DOMAIN SPECIALIZATION

  • Students will specialize in one selected domain based on their internship project requirements. Options include:
  • Multiphase Flow
  • Thermal Management (Electronics Cooling, Heat and Mass Transfer)
  • Combustion
  • Aerodynamics
  • Turbomachinery
  • Acoustics, and more

STAGE 3 – PART 2: HPC / CLOUD COMPUTING

  • Learn High-Performance Computing (HPC) concepts and gain hands-on access to our in-house cloud cluster for simulation execution and optimization.

STAGE 4: SOFT SKILL DEVELOPMENT

  • Training in technical writing and professional communication.
  • Interview preparation sessions and mock interviews.
  • Guidance on effective CV/resume writing.

PLACEMENT ACTIVITIES

  • Collaboration with industry partners and invited companies for placement opportunities.
  • Individual guidance and mentorship for students applying independently to external organizations.

INTERNSHIP PROJECT (6-MONTH PROJECT)

  • Students will work on an internship project from Day 1 for six months to gain real-world industry experience.
  • Complex simulations will be performed using Flowthermolab’s HPC infrastructure, ensuring practical exposure to large-scale CFD workflows.

  • Who can participate in this program?
    This program is designed for Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering students in their third or fourth year, provided they have a strong foundation in fundamentals. Mechanical engineers working in CAD or FEM who wish to transition into the CFD domain can also join this program.
  • What is the mix of students?
    The batch includes a diverse group of international students from various backgrounds — including bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD students, as well as engineers from industry.
  • Do I get a certificate?
    Yes. Upon completion of all lessons and submission of the corresponding assignments, a verified certificate will be issued by Flowthermolab.
  • Can I make the payment in installments?
    Yes, flexible payment options are available. Details will be shared during the orientation session.
  • Do I need a powerful workstation or computer for this course?
    No, a standard laptop with 4–8 GB RAM and a decent processor (i3 or i5) is sufficient for this program.
  • Do I need to have licensed software?
    No. The program uses open-source tools and student versions of commercial software. At Flowthermolab, commercial licenses and HPC systems are used for demonstrations and large-scale simulations, while students can use student versions on their own laptops.
  • What if I don’t understand some topics or have doubts?
    Dedicated mentors, support engineers, and discussion forums are available throughout the program to clarify all your questions and ensure you never feel stuck.
  • Do I need programming knowledge to join?
    No prior programming experience is required. The course includes introductory programming sessions designed for complete beginners.
  • Are there any prerequisites?
    Applicants should be passionate Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering students with a strong understanding of fluid dynamics and heat transfer fundamentals.
  • Bachelors, master students, PhD students
  • Research scientists 
  • CAD/ FEM Engineers planning to switch to CFD
  • CFD Engineers who want to build a strong fundamentals
