About the course


The application of Python in CFD & Computation fields has picked the higher momentum in recent years. Python is being asked as a mandatory skill in most job postings related to CFD & computational engineering. This program is created to address skills & exposure which is needed for fresh graduates to find potential career opportunities. 

You need not have any programming background or exposure to take part in this program. We have created the content & learning approach in a way that "anyone can learn to program". 

During phase 1, every learner will spend about 10 hours of training with a mentor, to gain confidence to write pages of code. And in phase 2, every learner will get to build 2 individual projects which are from the aerospace sector. At every phase, mentor-led video lectures will guide you step by step. The exposure, skills & confidence you gain during this program can help you gain the career direction & allow you to build projects from any other areas as well.

Start with Python Fundamentals & motivation to master Python

Week 1

Kickstart the Python learning, and lay a solid foundation as a beginner. We will start with understanding the wide range of Python applications being used in Industries, startups & Governments, etc., We shall build a clear motive & motivation to learn the language during this course & the outcomes you can get. You will begin to learn the Python programming with live coding sessions on topics such as operators, data types, Operations in Python (Integers and floats, Strings, Type Conversions & Booleans), Statements and Loops ( IF, IF - else & elif), Functions (Arguments, Return & In-built functions), Loops ( for & while), break & continue.

Practice with examples & gain confidence to start projects

Week 2

During Week 2, we will be exploring the vast and fabulous domains of Intermediate and Advanced Python programming with hands-on coding. You will go through solid theory as well as practical sessions for each new topic to gain confidence & expertise to build the real-world projects ahead of weeks 3 & 4. Topics such as Lists (Operations, Functions, Slices & Comprehensions), Dictionaries, Tuples, Sets, Arrays, Exceptions, Advanced File Handling, Modules & Packages, Libraries in Python (Numpy, Pandas & Matplotlib), Plots & Matrix Operations will be covered during the week 2.

Build your first CFD project using Python

Week 3

During week 3, we will focus on the major project, the study of fluid flow through a nozzle. You will be guided on understanding computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the need for CFD for analysis, CFD of a nozzle, and analysis of the flow through a nozzle. You will be guided to understand the equations behind Modeling the component, gain insights on problem-solving, and formulate the program in Python in an industrial manner to analyze the flow through a nozzle. You will be given an assignment on the analysis of the effect of mesh size on the accuracy of the result for flow through a nozzle.

Advanced project on Aircraft thrust sizing

Week 4

During week 4 we will be focusing on Aircraft sizing to size the thrust-to-weight ratio required based on the wing loading. You will be introduced to an Aircraft, forces acting on aircraft, and Aircraft initial sizing based on take-off constraints. You will be guided to understand stall speed, Rotational speed, and Thrust-to-weight ratio of aircraft, piston, and gas turbine engines work. We will derive the equations to represent the performance of an aircraft based on the thrust-to-weight ratio. We will also perform sensitivity analysis to analyze the aircraft’s performance for different ground run values, the effect of different ambient temperatures, and finally for changes in the elevation heights at which the aircraft might take off.

“A well structured program within the set time frame, helped me gain enough understanding to know about and use Scilab Xcos software, and work on projects which were amply challenging to help me understand about the model, go back and correct my mistakes and understand the analysis of the output. What I learnt through this internship serves as the perfect foundation and the skills I've gained will help me work on future projects with confidence. Apart from the technical part itself, you take us through the industry persepctive and what could we be doing to improve ourselves (work on more projects etc), delve more into what we've learnt, what to showcase in CVs which wholly rounded out my experience ”

“The course was wonderfully organized, with keen attention to detail. The topics covered were of sufficient depth for the duration of the course, and the 8th session covering hand calculation was excellent exposure for the attendees. One con however is that the videos seem to be very lengthy, and since this was posted as a self paced course, giving shorter videos of 1/2 hour durations would have been much better for attendee satisfaction.”
