COSAM

Center of Open-source Software

Applications in Fluid Mechanics

COSAM is a university research and training laboratory advancing open-source computational fluid dynamics—skills, pipelines, and tools from fundamentals to multiphysics.

Research Areas

  • Turbulent Flow Analysis

    RANS and LES-based turbulence modeling for complex internal and external aerodynamics.

  • Multiphase Flow Modeling

    DPM and DEM approaches for particle-laden flows, droplet–surface interaction, and coating processes.

  • Non-Newtonian Flow Modeling

    Rheology-driven (both shear rate and temperature) simulations such as plastic injection molding, food flows (chocolate, mayonnaise, etc.), polymer processing, and viscous material flow.

  • Biological Flow Analysis

    Hemodynamics and bio-inspired flow systems involving complex geometries and flow behavior.

  • Thermal Comfort & Thermal Management

    Electronics cooling, heat transfer enhancement, and energy-efficient thermal system design.

  • Combustion Analysis

    Combustion performance and emission characteristics.

  • Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI)

    Coupled flow–deformation analyses by OpenFOAM and FEniCS using preCICE as connector, for flexible and moving structures.
