M.Tech Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics at MIT

Manipal

Shape the future of engineering through simulation, precision, and computational excellence.

The M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics) at Manipal Institute of Technology, MAHE, Manipal, gives you advanced expertise in simulating and predicting fluid flow behavior using computational methods. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) refers to the use of numerical methods and computer-based simulation to study how liquids and gases move and interact with surfaces. This program builds strong foundations in fluid mechanics, numerical methods, and computational techniques, enabling you to solve engineering problems in aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors.

Program Highlights

Industry-Oriented Curriculum: You study application-driven topics aligned with engineering sectors that rely on fluid simulation for design, testing, and optimization.

Advanced Simulation Training: You gain proficiency in leading CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and COMSOL, which engineers use to simulate real-world fluid behavior.

Strong Mathematical Foundation: You build expertise in numerical methods, which are mathematical techniques used to approximate solutions to complex fluid flow equations.

Specialized Modeling Expertise: You learn turbulence modeling (simulation of chaotic fluid motion), multiphase modeling (interaction between fluids and particles or bubbles), and fluid–structure interaction modeling (interaction between fluids and solid structures).

Consortium-Developed Curriculum: You benefit from a curriculum co-developed by ten partner universities and a research laboratory, ensuring academic depth and global relevance.

Advanced Computing Infrastructure You access licensed commercial CFD software and HPC systems to perform large-scale engineering simulations efficiently.

Advanced Exposure

Perform CFD simulations using tools like ANSYS Fluent, CFX, and COMSOL to apply numerical methods and validate results.

Industry Projects

Undertake a one-year company-based project applying CFD in design, performance evaluation, and engineering analysis.

Research Scope

Gain experience with organizations like DRDO, ISRO, IISc, or research labs, with options for faculty-guided research projects.

Continuation of Scholarship

The award of Fee Waiver for the subsequent years will be the same as given at the time of admission in the first year. Scholarship will be extended in the subsequent year only to those students who have cleared all subjects in the University Examinations of previous year before the due date for payment of annual program fee. Students who are promoted to next year with failures (F) / Incomplete (I) / Detention (DT) grades, will NOT be eligible for fee waiver for that academic year. Fee Waiver will be forfeited in the instances of irregularity in attendance, proven charges of indiscipline, bringing disrepute to the Department / Institution / University etc.

Withdrawal Policy

In case the candidate leaves the course before the course completion (for any reason), he / she MUST reimburse the total program fee (as per Prospectus 2025) for the years of scholarship utilized, back to MAHE Manipal.
